Every once in a while some 'fruitcake' comes along and gets his 15 min of fame... and then vanishes into the abyss. Then again, there are some eccentrics that you've probably NEVER heard of... thank goodness for Google searches... and Wikipedia.

Matayoshi Mitsuo, the Japanese Jesus Christ

Matayoshi Mitsuo is an eccentric Japanese politician with the conviction that he is the Christ, our Lord and Savior. You know, the usual 'walk on water' fare.

According to his proposed program, he will conduct the Last Judgement as the Christ and integrate the New Testament's Apocolipse/Revelations teachings to the Japonese political system. His first goal as the 'Savior' is to be appointed to the office of Japanese prime minister. From which position he will then reform Japanese society. The second step of this two step process is the coveted seat of the United Nations General Secretary, which Mr. Mitsou believes is the 'throne' to which he has legitimate right as the 'King of Kings'. Once within the UN Matayoshi Jesus will reign over the whole world with two legitimate authorities, not only religious but also political. Like that's going to happen!

He has presented himself in many elections but he has not won yet. He has become well-known for his eccentric campaigns where he urges opponents to commit suicide by hara-kiri! Hai Yah!

Sir Alfred Mehran, A Man Who Has Lived in an Airport Since 1988

Mehran Karimi Nasseri, also known as Sir, Alfred Mehran (yes, including the comma), is an Iranian refugee who has been living in the departure lounge of Terminal One in Charles de Gaulle Airport since August 8, 1988.

Mr. Nasseri has lived a life of limbo. After being imprisoned and tortured in his native Iran, he fled to the west where  he has applied for asylum in many European countries, unfortunately without luck.

Upon arriving in the United Kingdom, 'Sir, Alfred' claimed to have been mugged and his shoulder bag stolen while on the RER platform, awaiting a flight from Charles de Gaulle Airport to to Heathrow (London). Nasseri managed to board the plane, but upon arrival at Heathrow International without the necessary documentation, Heathrow officials promptly returned him to Charles de Gaulle. Nasseri, being unable to prove his identity or his refugee status to the French officials was moved to the Zone d'Attente (waiting area), a holding area for travellers without papers (WOP).

Nasseri was reportedly the inspiration behind the 2004 movie The Terminal Man. However, unlike Tom Hanks' character in the movie, and since at least 1994, Nasseri does not live in the duty-free transit area but simply in the departure hall ( although he has been known circulate the boutiques and restaurants passage on the lowest floor). He can, at least theoretically, leave the terminal at any moment, although, his departure would obviously not remain unnoticed by the Airport staff and security. Sir, Alfred Mehran does not normally speak with anyone, nor is he noticed by travellers. But this could be due to the illusion known as 'cart and bags'... he almost passes off as a 'traveler', himself... Well, either that or people ignore him as a homeless person, which is most probable.

Norton I, Emperor of United States, and Protector of Mexico

who proclaimed himself "Emperor of these

Norton corresponded with Queen Victoria and was referred to as His Imperial Majesty by local citizens and in the newspaper obituaries announcing his death.

Though he was generally considered insane or at least highly eccentric, the citizens of San Francisco (and the world at large) celebrated his presence, his humor, and his deeds—among the most notorious being his "order" that the U.S. Congress be dissolved by force, and his numerous decrees calling for a bridge to be built across San Francisco Bay.

The King in Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is reportedly modeled after him. There are too many good ideas for my evil brain, here.

David Icke, Our Salvation from Reptilian Humanoids

David Icke, is a former professional football player, BBC television sports presenter and British Green Party national spokesperson. Since 1990, Mr. Icke has refered to himself as a "full-time investigator into who and what is really controlling the world." Which would be REPTILLIANS!!

He dresses exclusively in turquoise and sustains that the world was ruled by a secret group called "The Elite", a race of reptilian humanoids known in ancient times as the Babylonian Brotherhood. His thesis is  that many prominent people are descended from them, including George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth II and Kris Kristofferson. His belief is that descendants of the reptiles engage in child molestation and Satanism. He is the author of 15 books explaining these and other twisted views. After a five-hour speech to students at the University of Toronto in 1999, he received a standing ovation.

Lina Medina, 5 Year-Old Mother (the youngest ever)

Lina Medina (born September 27, 1933 in Paurange, Peru) gave birth at the age of 5 years, 7 months and 21 days and is the youngest confirmed mother in medical history. This world record is closely followed by a very similar case in Russia.

Lina was brought to a hospital by her parents at the age of 5 years because of increasing abdominal size. She was originally thought to have had a tumor. But, soon her doctors determined that she was in the seventh month of pregnancy. There was never evidence brought forth to suggest Lina Medina's pregnancy occurred in any but the usual way, but she never revealed the father of the child nor the circumstances of her impregnation. She refuses any and all interview requests... this case just sounds wrong, on soooo many levels.

Florence Jenkins, the Famous Soprano Who Couldn't Sing

Florence Foster Jenkins (1868) was an American soprano who became famous for her complete lack of singing ability. She became tremendously popular with her unconventional style. Her audiences apparently loved her for the amusement she provided rather than her musical ability. Jenkins was firmly convinced of her greatness, comparing herself favourably to the renowned sopranos Frieda Hempel and Luisa Tetrazzini... and dismissed the laughter which often came from her audiences during her performances as 'heckling' from her rivals, consumed by "professional jealousy".

Jenkins restricted her rare performances to a few favorite venues and her annual recital at the Ritz-Carlton ballroom in New York City. Attendance of her recitals was always limited to her loyal clubwomen and a select few others - she handled distribution of the coveted tickets herself. At the age of 76, Jenkins finally yielded to public demand and performed at Carnegie Hall on October 25, 1944. So anticipated was the performance that tickets for the event sold out weeks in advance. Jenkins died a month later.

Pope Michael I, the Elected Pope from Kansas… Since 1990

David Allen Bawden (born 1959), is an American citizen who was elected "Pope Michael I" by a group of six Conclavist or post-Sedevacantist Catholics, arguing that the elections of the last 6 popes were invalid because they are all modernists.

Sedevacantists argue that if the College of Cardinals will not or cannot elect a valid pope, ordinary Catholics can do so, under the principle of "Epikeia" (Equity). Acting on the basis of this, David Bawden was elected Pope by six people on 1990 (including himself and his parents). He is still on the job to this day.

 Gilbert Nelles, the Reincarnation of Elvis Presley

Gilbert Nelles is a man currently residing in the Yukon, who believes that he is the reincarnation of Elvis Presley, resulting from being hit by a beam from a UFO. He normally chooses to dress in a manner resembling the real-life Elvis Presley. He is a songwriter and artist.

"Tagish" Elvis has performed in Las Vegas with Chubby Checker. In 2005, he ran for the leadership of the Yukon Liberal Party.... coming in a far distant fourth place with only five votes.

Le Pétomane, the World's Most Famous Professional Farter

Le Pétomane was the stage name of the French professional farter and entertainer Joseph Pujol (1857 - 1945).

He was famous in Victorian times for his remarkable control of the abdominal muscles, which enabled him to break wind at will. He derived his stage name from the French verb péter, "to fart."

Some of the highlights of his stage act involved playing a flute through a rubber tube coming from his anus and the farting sound effects of cannon fire and thunderstorms.

Noel Godin, the Cream Pie Flinger

Noel Godin (1945) is a Belgian writer, critic, actor and notorious cream pie flinger or ‘entarteur’. Godin gained global attention in 1998 when his group ambushed Microsoft CEO Bill Gates in Brussels, pelting the software magnate with pies. Godin claims his goal has long been to ‘entarte’ as many people like Gates as possible... induviduals that he feels are so consummed with self-importance that they lacking all sense of humor.

Godin, who uses the pseudonym ‘Georges Le Gloupier’ has also inspired an unknown number of followers around the world, who now regularly provide him with details about the whereabouts of various important potential targets. It took 32 people to conduct the Bill Gates operation. His followers take care to look as ridiculous as possible as they throw their tarts, smiling broadly, spouting anti-pretentious poetry and repeating "gloup, gloup, gloup!" Well... if it's banana cream pie, they can entarte me anytime!
