  I was working on a companion program for forTun that would generate Tedisms. 
It basically made a travesty of his posts (It took word frequencies, and then
generated a posting based on the proportions he used).  Unfortunately, it is
indistiguishable from the real thing.  To whit:

Ted:

The various Saturn Myth scenarios are not mine;  they are the work of David
Talbott, Immanual Velikovsky, Dwardu Cardona, and a handful of others.  There
are differences between them, and none of them is complete to my knowledge.
Further, there is every evidence that we are dealing with a continually
changing scenario in the heavens starting from some time before human memory
and going until around 700 BC or so.  There appears to have been a state far
back in which Saturn or something of which Saturn is all that remains was
our sun.  The picture described on pyramid walls (and by Talbott) is a later
picture, from a time shortly after the flood, in which half of Saturn's ring
appears to have been visible at any one time (the various pictures, morning
boat/evening boat etc. showing half of the ring system.  Talbott describes
this as indicating that we were seeing reflected light (from our present sun)
from one half the ring while the other half was occulted during the various 
parts of a day, however long that was then, and that the daily turning of the
earth on its axis moved this half ring about the small star in a circle.

The travesty:

Further, there is every evidence that we are dealing with a continually changing
scenario in the heavens starting from dust.  Now, once you've already GOT
complex life forms on earth, via creation, importation, or whatever, THEN
evolution is bound to occur in the manner in which it is being taught and/or
explained (mechanism).  The word "liar" appears frequently in James Meritt's
postings.  Unfortunately, there are still folks out there, most notably Mr.
Bales, who don't quite know how to deal with this.  Hopefully, the following
will help.  About half the postings of his glorious FAQ, and leaving it out the
other half was occulted during the various  parts of a day, however long that
was then, and that the daily turning of the earth on its axis moved this half
ring about the small star in a circle.  Many of our symbols still show this
system.  The star in crescent is a Saturn sign from the same time period Talbott
describes, half the ring showing in reflected light.  The ONLY contribution
which I personally have made to this
whole picture, other than trying to explain it to the deadwood of t.o, is the
observation that some scenario such as Talbotts is absolutely NECESSARY to
explain the sizes which living creatures grew to in those times.  More on this
shortly.

  Or is it the other way around????
