Boy Scouts of America is America's secret backup army.

Oh, how I wish that was true...

Some 40 thousand years ago, humanity got infected with the 'city-builder' meme, which causes us to concentrate all our resources and population into polluted, miserable hives. But we'll devour the planet and maybe other planets too, to create cities and their offspring, technology. What infected us with this idea?

Minerals. Yah see, rocks and metals can't evolve on their own. They need organic life to catalyze their evolution. In the geologically short time we've been around, silicon has gone from a hunk of rock to computers, and thanks to us, minerals will soon be the second form of life(?) to develop sentience.

Incidentaly, I think this is what's going on in Mass Effect.

EDIT: Comes from Invisibles, possibly the best conspiracy story ever.

The Philadelphia Experiment is a pretty interesting one, not that I believe it. The moon landing one's pretty laughable too.

That UFO's were built by the germans.

The Moon landing ones always get me as they always paint NASA and the government to be super intelligent to plan and cover it up for all these years and create false evidence, but are so monumentally stupid as to make basic mistakes like not having stars in the photos and kicking Coke bottles into shot.

That said I can never understand why so much of the original moon footage was taped over or thrown out.

The Flat Earth Society are just trying to distract you from the real truth;

According to David Icke, there is a seperate sun inside the Earth, with it's own weather system. It's where one species of "alien" comes from.

That's nothing I one got into a debate with a crazy guy who thought that WE ACTUALLY LIVE INSIDE A HOLLOW EARTH. You know all those stars? Street lights. It is the funniest thing I have ever heard. He honestly believed that shit. You have to be wrong in the head; which is why I feel bad about mocking him. You could spend all day outlining the basic flaws in that theory.

I might seem like a nut for thinking this, but I think there was a contingincy plan in case we didn't make it to the moon. There was alot riding on the US making it to the moon before the decade was over, and I think Plan B was "Fake it." Don't forget, the president was Nixon. I can definitely see him going along with this.

But thankfully we did make it to the moon and none of that was necessary. Because if we did try to fake it, the Russians would have called bullshit.

That may be true. A lot did ride on getting to the moon. If they did plan to fake it then it would have been a stupid idea. Not only would it be monumentally expensive, but if I ever got out then all hell would break out. To fake the landings you'd have to still build a rocket and since other countries track it (Apollo 11 was tracked by the UK) it'd actually have to go to the moon. So you could only fake the landings. Of course if something went wron on Apollo 11 obviously couldn't fake THAT mission. In the end it's actually easier to just go to the moon than fake it.
