Thanks to a grant from the "A House Foundation" of Hunter Mountain, the website has been reactivated. Welcome to the website of the Planktonitis Society which was founded by several brave men and women at their first international meeting of the organization in a saloon in the City of Galway, Ireland, in February of 2000. Thanks for stopping by!...

This website is based on the theory that millions of people throughout the world gain weight, not because of the meals they eat, but because of the microscopic organisms that are in the air they breathe. Just like the whales in the oceans who get much of their sustinence from microscopic organism like Plankton, the Planktonitis Society believes that millions of people gain weight because they too (just like the whales) are getting extra sustinence from microscopic organisms that they breathe in, hence the name: PLANKTONITIS. The purpose of this website will be to examine all aspects of this theory (including the connection to whales and the possibility that weight gain is due to a virus) and to publish the results.
