Ted Holden? I thought that was like a big internet/usnet joke from the late 90s like John Titor. He was a parody like claiming that Saturn was once in earth’s orbit (or the other way around) and a bunch of weird stuff to try to fill in the Young Earth evidence gaps? He was/is real?
I suppose the correct answer turns on what you regard as "real." That having been said, however, there is no denying that Ted Holden made himself into not "a" big internet/usenet joke, but one of the biggest. His site, bearfabrique is still there.
Here's another link, useful in determining whether you are, in fact, Ted Holden. You'll note, it dates from 1995.
He spent quite a bit of time as "medved" on FR posting real conundrums like, “Why are there no feral chickens?” (The answer, posted to him just about every time he asked the question, “because domesticated chickens don’t last long enough in the wild to reproduce,” never seemed to stick). He was also famous — if that is the word — for his incessant posting of “Splifford the ascii bat.” It was a little graphic he thought made some point about science … much in the way GGG seems to think silly pictures of Charles Darwin make some point about science.
