No, in actual fact, I'm interested in the truth.
If what I've posted is incorrect, then DEMONSTRATE that it's WRONG, rather than launching a childish and idiotic ad hominem attack on the messenger, as the fool in Tennessee has done.
It looks pretty clear-cut to me. Hammesfahr very prominently claims on his own web site (and also in radio interviews - PLURAL - that I've heard) that he was "nominated for the Nobel prize." Apparently he has been claiming this since 1999, although that's less demonstrable.
It vastly stretches the imagination to think that in what is most likely a period of 9 years, no one has ever called to his attention that a letter from a Congressman does NOT constitute a Nobel prize nomination.
Moreover, we KNOW that Hammesfahr KNOWS this is the case. A Florida newspaper wrote an article about this in 2003 (note:haven't verified), yet it still appears on his site. He was interviewed on the radio about this nearly a week ago (see http://www.johnandkenshow.com/audio.php), yet it still appears on his site. It seems to me that if he were interested in being truthful, he would immediately remove the information from his site. I personally would be so embarassed if I had unknowingly, for example, made a false claim that the claim would be down within one to two days, at most. I CERTAINLY wouldn't let it stay up for two years!
So the only reasonable conclusion I can see is that Hammesfahr is most likely a fraud.
If you're of another opinion, or have evidence to the contrary, then post it. Or you can instead choose to post your ignorance and demonstrate what a fool you are, as my other friend has done.
Typo. 6 years, obviously. Late. Tired.
