Odd, but not properly odd. Of course the RN used to copper-plate the bottom of its ships, to prevent fouling. Now we use speshul paint. Anyway, that may be what he's getting confused by.

Maddie McCann may have internally combusted (or was taken by aliens)
It's as likely as anything else. It may well be that her SWIVEL EYED WITCH of a mother mixed up the sleeping drug doses they gave the kids, and made something that caused her to explode. Everything since has been a huge cover up.

It was both fascinating and baffling.
No, I have to say. The closest I've got is my aged mother, who insists in believing everything she reads in the Mail, on the grounds that "they wouldn't be allowed to print it if it wasn't true".
That said, I watched far too much X Files as a teenager and sort of wondered if some of it weren't true.
