Hey, true weirdos. We just wanted to take a minute and thank you so much for your support.

True Weird Stuff has won the best history podcast in the Women in Podcasting Awards,

and we've also won a Signal Award in the paranormal category.

And that's only happened because of you, our fellow strange people.

Thanks.

Stick around if you want after the episode for a little bonus content

and conversation. He was a man obsessed with the sun, a man who believed that the right and

proper life for a human being was a life lived outdoors, preferably in the tropics, naked if possible.

Only then could a person achieve their true and fullest potential.

He was a dreamer, but with a practical side.

When it came to what a naked, sun-worshipping man or woman of nature might eat,

he'd given that quite a bit of thought, too.

God has made for us the perfect food in the shape of a human head.

Coconut's. He's talking about coconuts. The brain, the most noble organ in humans, derives its energy from sunlight through the roots of the hair

rather than the dirty digestive organs.

Coconut with a spherical, furry shell, most resembles the human head.

Can a German nudist and his small band of followers create an island utopia in the middle of the Pacific

and somehow subsist entirely on coconuts?

The coconut fruit grows closest to the sun

and therefore is the most perfect food, most perfect food for a man or a woman.

God created coconuts based on the human head.

Huh, well, since you put it that way.
