Most of the article, but especially the section labeled "Pet Theories" reminds me a lot of this recent XKCD. In the Biffco timeline, everyone has an explanation for how things got as bad as they did, and none of them are a time traveling sports almanac. Seems to be the same way for lead poisoning, for some people at least.
