You don't have to be a 'loonatic' but it helps

Once in a while while surfing the web, you come across a site that is such inspired folly you don't know whether to applaud or call a doctor. One such is bigflares.com, a labyrynthine online ode to bell-bottomed trousers. The detail is remarkable, even extending to a 'linguistic study' that gives the name for flares in more than 50 languages, including Esperanto, Creek, Thai and Cockney (!), as well as the usual suspects. The flare statistics calculator is another feature that puts Big Flares in a whole other league of monomania than the average fansite.
