What is the strangest conspiracy theory that you have ever heard?

[captainwalrus]

The moon landing was faked. That's just stupid.

I actually wrote a report supporting that theory in middle school. My teacher tore me apart. Curse my adolescent ignorance of astronomical phenomena and engineering.

And then there's that conspiracy theory that menthol cigarettes were invented to kill off black men. Christ, some people need to stop thinking.

The Flat Earth Society. Yes, this is real.

I checked the "evidence" page, and they had a "come back when we have our act together" sign. Sigh.

I also checked another page which stated that if the earth were round, we'd fall off. In grade 11 physics, I can already disprove that...

Did you read the (link="http://www.alaska.net/~clund/e_djublonskopf/Flatearthsociety.htm")current events page?

I'm almost positive that the whole thing's a joke, and rather funny to be honest.

- the reason the earth's sky is blue in daylight is due to water vapor in the air, and the huge amount of blue water in the oceans. The moon doesn't have either of those things.. just lifeless grey plains.. The daylight sky on the moon is black -

Ugh... Please tell me thats a joke...
If not, I will gladly explain that the sky being blue actually has very little to do with the colour of the oceans...

Any who, the whole Titanic thing seems a little suss, no?

This video may shock you, so proceed with caution...
Its a joke, think about it too hard...

I've always liked the theory that everything exists in a Matrix-style environment, as in everything we know is a computer simulation. On a similar note, the theory that we're all just in a very advanced Sims-like game is good, too. It would explain a lot...

the moon landing skeptics.


No pictures of the stars: "THEY'RE TRYING TO HIDE SOMETHING - WE COULD TELL BY LOOKING AT THE STARS WHERE THEY WERE, SO THEY HID THEM!"
The astronauts didn't go to the moon to take pictures of the stars, they went to the moon to take pictures of the moon. Also, it was daylight when they were taking pictures - the reason the earth's sky is blue in daylight is due to water vapor in the air, and the huge amount of blue water in the oceans. The moon doesn't have either of those things.. just lifeless grey plains.. The daylight sky on the moon is black. The sun is still so bright that you can't see the stars, it's just as bright as on earth, but the sky is black. The cameras were set for daylight to get the best pictures of the moons surface, ergo, the stars didn't appear on the film.

Water vapor/atmosphere yes, blue oceans ... no. when sent through a prism blue light bends the most, the water vapor in the air and atmosphere act like a prism. That is why the sky is blue, and sunsets are red and yellow (short answer). The rest of the post was excellent though.

I think the strangest conspiracy theory is the one that says pot/marijuana is a gateway drug, will make you an evil drug addict and should be illigal.
Yeah my Dad the lawyer and my sister the head of human resources for a major company.... they're such the evil drug addicts, lol

The whole "Barrack Obama is secretly a muslim" thing. They came up with that because he has a slightly similar name to Bin Laden. That has nothing to do with religious beliefs.

One from one of the senior management at my school. There's all of these clean, green power generating windmills on the hills outside town, and the town and power companies are proud that they're making eco-friendly electricity. Straight-faced, the teacher says that the windmills are a conspiracy, and there's coal-burners under them turning them around and the power company hates the environment, they only want to make it look like they have green power so people don't say bad things about them. That teacher is mad, mad I say!

And please believe me when I say that while the United States has some stupid people, not all of us are THIS stupid...

Ahah, I saw this one a while ago. I love it.
"This didn't happen 20 years ago" Really?

And yes, not all of us Americans are that stupid.
I promise..

 

[MoganFreeman]

That Obama wasn't born in America.

I would think the office of the President of the United States is something one would receive a through back-ground check for.

 

[Smokeydubbs]

This theory that the moon has aliens on it. And that Buzz, Neil Armstrong, and the crew saw fleets of parked spaceships on the moon. And we got threatened by the aliens and that's why we never went back. Its on Youtube. Multipart movie. Made me LOL.

 

[captainwillies]

The one about how the world is actually hollow, with two giant holes at the poles that descend to a new world of molemen, which is where Hitler ran to after losing WW2.

No I am not making this up... this is an actual theory by some stupid tards.

not stupid just massively crazy. i remember researching this and finding page after page, article after article. not stupid, but hard working crazy people.

 

[rabidmidget]

there are two brilliant music related insanities. First, there's the theory that Bob Marley was killed by the Government. He was given a special boot that injected Melanoma into his toe, which killed him. The other is that Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and Rivers Cuomo from Weezer are the same person.

It makes sense, they are both awesome singers =)

anyway, i remember reading this one conspiracy theory that our sun is in a binary orbit with another sun which is an impossible distance away which has an evil planet in orbit with it with an evil alien empire which will collide with/invade earth on december 31st , 2012

She cant be serious...Can she? oh god.

SAME PERSON!

 

[manicfoot]

That Paul McCartney was killed in a car crash in the mid-60's and The Beatles replaced him and spent loads of money on plastic surgery to make him look like Paul.

Even better than that is the one where WE are actually living inside of the hollow earth.
All those stars in the sky? Streetlights from the other side of the world.
Pictures of Nebulas and such? Deep sea stuff
That presky gravity? Centrifugal force

I could go on. I actually talked to a guy who thought that shit is real. Man I couldn't keep a straight face. All of those things are easily disproved. i did bring up the fact that there are pictures of the stars dating long before the invention of streetlights and they look the same as they do now. His answer "History is all Hollywood bullshit" or something of that Ilk. I wish i'd spent more time taking him apart, but it's too easy. He never did seem to understand my point that when it's night on one side of the earth it's day on the other and so there would be no streetlights. He even had a Google sky map of the earth at night overlayed with the night sky as "proof". To think these people may have children.

That not only was 9/11 an inside job, but also Bush personally flew all 4 planes into their targets. Because he has magical powers. He's probably Harry Potter in disguise.

 

[Syntax Error]

Microsoft bribing game developers to dumb down the graphics of DX9 to make the jump to DX10 (consequently, to Vista) worth it. It was once said that even if there are notable differences between the two, the leap n graphics quality isn't supposed to be that large.
