And I'm not allowed to call this guy a kook...

Oh I think you're not only allowed but encouraged to. Click around his site for some gems like

"I will argue that the messages to the seven churches of Asia are a detailed metaphorical description of the organization and operation of the brain. I will further argue that the golden lampstand (Jewish menorah) symbolizes a seven-node sequence in brain memory."

and the page where he calls a bunch of important physicists (and Goedel) crackpots.

Moving right along...
