I remember a long time ago when that theory was new lol

Why or better yet, HOW, could Priess design a clue in 1982 about something that was discovered in 1991? I would love to see your YouTube video walkthrough of explaining that part.

Oh God, BINGO... Thank you!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Wait, I feel a Cornell solution to this problem coming on... Preiss didn't have to know about what would happen in the FUTURE in 1991, because 1790 comes BEFORE 1982 in math dates!!!

You laugh, but has anyone stopped to consider that maybe Preiss murdered those 20,000 people, and that's how he knew about it ahead of time?

Not only did i consider it,I am adding it as a fact to wiki!...and that is why he is also the rhapsodic man!! It all makes total sense. Now, if I could only figure Preiss's connection to the JFK assassination and the moon landing.
