This is not the answer Kansan would give, but ... Heidi Klum is a stern-faced or stone-faced German swimsuit model who has a contract modelling for the Victoria's Secret line of women's underwear and is occasionally seen in tabloid newspapers and on television. Her body is not exceptionally beautiful or languorous, just averagely smooth and toned. Her face is harsh and cold. She has been said to have "a horse face." She is about at the end of her career as a model, due to the fact that she is approaching middle age. Possibly because of language barriers, and possibly because she is actually not very charismatic, she has not been able to develop a secondary role as a product or non-profit organization spokesperson, celebrity-journalist, or news anchor, as other aging models have. For some reason, this guy Kansan1225, who claims to be a 50-some married American man of Greek descent named Nick Kaffes, has fixated on Ms. Klum as emblematic evidence of a large conspiracy theory with spiritual import for the world. He uses half-baked numerology and date-numbering to demonstrate "coincidences" that "prove" his theory. He has a habit of initiating threads with subject lines that read as if he is replying to someone, but if you trace the threads to their beginnings, you will see that he was the original poster. He has repeatedtly nominated for KOTM (Kook of the Month) n usenet. A quick search at the google newsgroup archive reveals 15,900 usenet posts containing the terms . In times past, some folks in usenet believed that he was pulling their legs, making sly and joking references to the excesses of past conspiracy theories, but as the years have rolled on, it has become more probable that he is truly delusional. He believes Ms. Klum to be an angel or messenger of God, refers to her as an "Empress" or "Our Lady" and claims that she represents what he calls "The Teutonic Fatherland." Nick seems to intend no harm to Ms. Klum, which is a mercy, considering the many instances of violence that schizophrenics and other delusional people have committed upon the celebrities around whom their fantasies revolve. It is unlikely that you will get a rational reply from him to your question, though, as he is, ipso facto, irrational on the subject of Heidi Klum. cat yronwode
