The article on Xenu has become truly excellent in the past week. Chris Owen has escalated the article to heights of Scientology lunacy that made even me, with nine years' experience, goggle and choke. There's something heartwarming about an encyclopedia article containing the sentences "A steady flow of flying saucers is still dropping off more entheta beings" and "In Los Angeles, a nightwatch was ordered to watch for returning spaceships." With references!
