Cool-headed Logicians


"Not all crazy people are brilliant, but almost all brilliant people are crazy"

The rationale as to why Federal law enforcement experts believed an elusive man who mailed letter bombs to universities and airlines would need to wear aviator sunglasses and a hoodie is lost on me. Sure, it was the early 90s when this composite sketch was put together. However, it is based on nothing. No one had ever seen the Unabomber, his identity was a mystery, so what is this a composite of? I can only assume it is that of everyone's creepy uncle. You know, the one who hugs for too long, has VHS tapes of every episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and wears velcro New Balance shoes.

Arguably the Unabomber is a brilliant but crazy man. The FBI composite sketch artist who came up with this Weird Al Yankovic "Eat It" video image is simply the latter.
