RESULTS: I received a last-minute deluge of votes just before midnight last night. They were all registered with an email of some guy named ‘Beau Biden.’ Seemed fishy so I threw them out.

Last year there was a landslide vote for best paper, which was The Titanic. This year the votes were more even, but there was one that stood out: Where Did All the Phoenicians Go? Honorable mentions include the papers on Isaac Newton, Thomas Jefferson and The Hindenburg.

For guest papers, the winner is The Anne Frank Fake, followed very closely by British Abolition.

The vote for silliest/most absurd hoaxed event was a blowout: the coronavirus/COVID-19 hoax. Personally I wouldn’t say it is particularly silly, but absurd is definitely on target.

And for worst/most obnoxious crisis actor, the award goes to British Health Minister Matt Hancock’s reaction after watching a clip of William Shakespeare receiving the second COVID vaccine in England. Donald Trump was a close runner-up. Hancock’s (omg!) laughable performance can be seen at 5:26 here:

I will be compiling the quotes for an upcoming post on Mathisisms. Stay tuned. And if you haven’t shared your truther journey story yet, please do so here.
