This is HellBoy's first cousin. He hangs out with HellBoy and me and spends most of his time doing cursory internet research and debunking stuff like this picture here

The so-called Castle Island near Dublin, Ireland
which is really the photoshopped merging of an image of this island in Thailand

with a picture of this castle in a mirror image and stuff that didn't fit trimmed away:

In 1802, the land came into the hands of King Frederick I of Württemberg, who built a hunting lodge there. By 1837, the land had passed to his nephew Duke Wilhelm of Urach, Count of Württemberg, who, inspired by Wilhelm Hauff's novel Lichtenstein, added the current castle in 1840–42. The romantic Neo-Gothic design of the castle was created by the architect Carl Alexander Heideloff.
For every serious contributor to the flow of information on the internet there is at least one person interested in creative alterations of reality. Very few people seem to care whether facts are facts or fiction. Understand that this is equally true in every arena. It is doubtful our political sources are any more trustworthy than the photoshopped images that travel into our awareness. This comes to us from both the left and the right. Beware the facts. They probably are not facts. Castle Lichtenstein sitting on Thailand's James Bond Island (so named for appearing in a 007 movie) in the Dublin waterways somewhere is a perfect example.
But not HellBoy's cousin, who is of course, quite real.
