Jonathon Keats

Executive director of the International Association for Divine Taxonomy. Yep, this guy is a conceptual artist. He created the first pornographic theater for plants showing videos of pollen. He copyrighted his mind in 2003, claiming that the statement, "Je pense, donc je suis." is proven in that he owns the right to his mind 70 years after he dies. Oh, it gets better! He erected a temple for the religion of science called the Atheon. He re-calibrated time from the Metric System to a human's heartbeat. He created new universes through a process that made use of readily-available equipment including uranium-doped glass and scintillating crystal, all acquired on eBay. After building several prototypes, Keats manufactured a simple do-it-yourself kit that purported to let anyone create new universes with a mason jar, a drinking straw, and a piece of chewing gum. He choreographed a ballet for bumble bees by selectively planting flowers. Keats is most famous for attempting to genetically engineer God in a laboratory, a 2004 collaboration with geneticists at UC Berkeley. He did so in order to determine scientifically where to place God as a species on the phylogenetic tree. In interviews with journalists, he indicated that his initial results showed a close taxonomic relationship to cyanobacteria. Radical: I'm voting yes.
