Dreams and free energy machines
by borsky
"At the core of Wessel di Wesseli's teachings and beliefs stands the rule of preservation of energy, which he knows to be inconclusive. He believes that 1+1 can be 3 or more. Because we, humans, aren't just numbers you add up, we are more than a simple or even dead equation. On this page you will find concepts based on this principle and artistic machines or mechanical art if you will. You will see references to the perpetuum mobile machines." "Often described as a crazy loner Mr. di Wesseli has been relentlessly searching for answers in the field of the perpetuum mobile for more than 45 years, with many eureka moments along the way aswell as failures.

Il Giornale Nuovo
by borsky
& 5 others
My all-time favourite site/protoblog, closed in 2007. Still the archives are online. Two main parts:
Isaac D’Israeli’s Curiosities of Literature - a very large work brought here online;
and more especially, a gigantic database of strange (mostly fairly ancient) art and engravings. Mr. h. used to give away some of his books through this site. This is the top in what me might call scientific study of visionary art with lots of images and lots of external links.

Lionel Fanthorpe
by borsky
To meet his grueling deadlines, Fanthorpe employed an unusual technique. He dictated his masterworks into a reel to reel tape recorder, oftentimes under the cover of a blanket to enhance his concentration. He would then ship those tapes off to a pool of typists for transcription. This created many unique problems. People who die in one chapter reappear a chapter or two later because it was forgotten that they were dead. Odd phrases turn up in the middle of paragraphs due to a misunderstanding by the transcriptionist.

Excellent site with some very strange texts. In French.
