Met a very funky cat at a mosque tonight. He said he was a US Marine, then in the Bandidos biker gang, before becoming a messianic Jew and eventually a Muslim. He's also dyslexic. He says the Large Hadron Collider is supposed to open a portal to the dimension of the djinn.

He currently lives in an RV and travels the US. He's got a wife who has stuck with him through all of this.

At a certain point when he was telling me about one of his near-death experiences, I got crazy déjà vu. It's probably just a blood sugar thing, though.

I got to tell him about people on the Internet who ironically use the word "inshallah."
