Site of the Week: TERD.org
No, we’re not being crude and we’re not making this up. We’re loudly applauding the efforts of an organization that aims to “to explain the unexplainable, prove the unprovable, and make the mysterious unmysterious.” We’re talking about T.E.R.D.
This is what they claim: “There are a lot of websites with a lot of phony stuff out there. T.E.R.D. isn’t one of them. It is an organization dedicated to discovering, documenting, and providing, TANGIBLE evidence about REAL discoveries” (hence the acronym). In this case, they’re proving the existence of Santa Claus and an alleged government conspiracy to cover it all over.
And it appears they will stop at nothing. They have archived footage of a 1949 expedition to the North Pole by world famous explorers Robert Walters and Aaron Garner. The footage is at once shocking and revealing. Dr. Lloyd Darrow, site owner and self-proclaimed Santa Claus Theorist, also presents “the Santa papyrus”, a so-called ancient document showing a large man wearing a red suit and a white beard in ancient settings.
We must admit: the evidence provided at TERD.org is compelling. Although we’ve never questioned our own belief in Santa Claus we think that those who do need to visit TERD and see the evidence presented there.
Then you’d be advised to watch for The Big Guy on Christmas Eve.
