I always like the Crackpot Index, but I guess it should be balanced with a list of scientists who would probably be considered crackpots because they are a bit 'weird', say Newton or Tesla.
Of course there are many more crackpots than there are Newtons or Teslas, but I suppose it's good to not dismiss thing too quickly when they are radical and proposed by somewhat special individuals.
