Articles by Matthew Thomas Farrell

Matthew Thomas Farrell started off as a science fiction novelist but ultimately realized the wisdom of Thomas Haliburton’s adage, “truth is stranger than fiction.” Since the late 1990s, he has been the chief scribe for www.branchfloridians.org, a subtle parody website devoted to lateral thinking and bad taste that exposes or debunks various religious and historical conspiracies. He lives in Tempe, Arizona, and can be contacted at saint@extremezone.com.
