    What is it with these people that write these dumb make belief stories? Are they in it for the easy money? Are they in it for the attention? Is it the lulz?

      There are lots of genuinely interesting mysteries, some of which suggest fantastic things, but this kind of stuff is just taking all the fantastic parts and mushing them together without caring about, well, anything really.
