Years, spent memorizing the finite ways there are to hurt and break a man. Preparing for all of them. I’ve escaped from every conceivable deathtrap. Ten times. A dozen times. I can slow my breathing and metabolism to control panic and conserve air. Straitjacket’s kindergarten. Locks, too. Benchpressing a pine coffin lid through 600 pounds of loose soil that’s filling your mouth crushing your lungs flat and shredding your dehydrated muscles. That’s harder. But far from impossible.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;Batman&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A man under the alias “James Richards” claims that he has a Beatles album from a parallel universe in which The Beatles never broke up.  Apparently, this dude hit his head chasing his dog in the middle of the desert and fell unconscious.  He claims he’s credible because he’s not “insane or on drugs.”  Anyway, a few hours after hitting his head and passing out, he woke up in someone’s home.  And then this happened:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I looked up there was a man standing at the door. He was about 6 ft tall, had medium long black hair and was dressed casually nice but gave me a “greasy” vibe, if you know what I mean. He introduced himself as Jonas and asked me if I was ok, which I said yes. […] I then asked him the question that would make me start wondering if I in fact had gone crazy… I asked him “where am I?”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“About 20 feet away from where I found you” he replied. I told him that couldn’t be possible because there were no houses within at least 20 miles from where I last remember being. He then told me that what he was going to say next will be very shocking and unbelievable, and that if he didn’t actually experience it himself then he wouldn’t believe it. He took a look at the machine near the window and looked back at me and said he transported me into parallel Earth. He said he traveled to our Earth dimension and found me knocked out in the blazing heat with nobody around to help me out. Normally he said he doesn’t take outsiders through a portal but in my case he thought I needed urgent help.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The rest of his story is &lt;a href="http://thebeatlesneverbrokeup.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=1&amp;Itemid=53"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.  It’s full of vague statements and far-fetched sci-fi elements.  It’s utterly compelling.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This guy also posts &lt;a href="http://thebeatlesneverbrokeup.com/media/The%20Beatles%20-%20Everyday%20Chemistry.zip"&gt;the entire album&lt;/a&gt; on this website.  Most of the tracks sound like bootlegs and songs that members of The Beatles recorded after their 1970 break-up (uh, in THIS universe), amateurishly spliced together and poorly balanced.  There are as many aural holes in this album as there are in “James’s story.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Visit it if you’re a fan of The Beatles and/or of far-fetched science fiction stories.&lt;/p&gt;
