message: Apropros of nothing, (i) I believe that the short section on Gene's pre-cube days is the driest, funniest set of paragraphs I have ever read and (ii) will Gene ever attain the fame of such eccentrics as Joshua A. Norton, Wesley Willis, or for that matter semi-eccentrics such as Stanley Unwin and Kenneth Williams? Is Gene self-aware? Is there a "notable eccentrics" category on Wikipedia?
:* I would really like to see a page on notable eccentrics my self. There are too many to mention in a long format, so a running list with a sentance for each link would suffice. User:Grinick
On this subject, I think the use of humor (however "veiled" it is) is not appropriate for Wikipedia articles — it needs to go to Uncyclopedia.  That includes any tutorials that "disprove" the theory, or quotes you're probably referring to like:
:Critics of Ray like to draw attention to his "marbles period" because they consider it inconsistent with his later Time Cube theory. ... But supporters of Ray see his circle-based philosophy as a natural precursor to the Time Cube.
I'm sorry, that's not meant in earnest.  And the use of constant quotes from Ray in italics is not the kind of thing you'd see in any featured article candidate.  Even if we can say that the people citing details are taking it seriously, the deconstructions would count as "original research" if documented here.  There are "encyclopedic" aspects to Gene Ray's life, but it's important to focus on those here and leave the funnies for other sites. Metaeducation 16:59, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

* 13:08, 4 Mar 2005 RJL20 (The Time Cube text generator at elsewhere.org is a markov chain script, not a dada engine creation.)
I removed that section because it's not true. The Dada Engine is cool, and it could be used to write a Time Cube generator, but as far as I know, it hasn't been. The Time Cube generator you linked to is a perl script which uses a markov chain built by parsing Gene Ray's own sites. It doesn't use the Dada Engine. RJL20 23:52, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing the Dada Engine paragraph 

message: King Mob removed the statement "Dr. Gene Ray, Cubic" due to lack of references where Ray uses this combination of titles. I reverted the edit since I have sources where the title is used. In "Code of the Pyramids", there's a page (looks like a title page) reading:
CUBIC CREATION
versus
Human Word Animal
Educated Singularity
STUPID
by
Dr. Gene Ray, Cubic
and below this "HUMAN HAS 4 CORNER FACES, BUT ONLY ONE AT ANY TIME" in Ray's own handwriting. If he didn't like "Dr. Gene Ray, Cubic", I'm sure he would have changed it.
Also, the text at the back of Georgia Tech DVD is signed "Dr. Gene Ray, Cubic and Wisest Human".
"Dr. Gene Ray", "Gene Ray, Cubic" or "Cubic" Gene Ray appears to be more common though, so perhaps we should rewrite it anyhow? (If we really care that much about his titles ...)

thread_title:  Dr. Gene Ray, Cubic 

message: i have repeatedly tested the timecube both knowledge and facts 
gene ray's last bit of knowledge has only backfired because he made vast incorrections
during the disturbing creation of the timecube before anyone notices he will claim to love god
yah i know unexpected by a genius unless he writes this all down on little notepads
and the timecube has been wrong ever since it's creation and free arguments been posted online
i have my own philosophy but i don't know how to make a website quite yet but when i do you will
expect my work to be well made because i have backup information and a well amount of people
in soceity able to help me which i have earned they're respect so within two or three years i might have a better peice of work than that made from the timecube 
for contact email me at quietsilentfree@yahoo.com so we can finish this conversation for and or against gene ray thanks.--65.34.2.93 05:30, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
