Last night I was up after watching the movie "Mirrors", which by the way is not a very scary movie at all just bloody. Anywho It was...2:15 A.M. and I was getting ready to go to bed. All of a sudden my brother tells me that it is daylight savings time. Right there I lost a whole hour of my life. :x

I tend not to wake up early at all and with this new "spring forward an hour" I don't know what I'm going to do. I think this is all just a conspiracy to...I don't know what they're trying to accomplish but it is a conspiracy. Maybe the government is trying to harvest the lost hours of unfortunate people such as myself?

Any other crazy conspiracies anyone has been wishing to get off their chests? Crazy theories that if they said them out loud, the man would hunt them down within the hour? :P

Pete: Holy Bible?
Barton: Yeah.
Pete: Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've heard about it.

I love conspiracy theories!

The hallmark of a really good one is that instead of backtracking in the face of evidence that highlights its flaws, the theorist adds more detail to explain things away. They're interesting because they're the opposite of science. Conspiracy theorists begin with a conclusion and work backwards to justify it, rather than starting with a question and working forwards to find the answer - whatever it may be. They're also a brilliant insight into how human thought processes make mistakes and how you can exploit those processes to invoke such mistakes on purpose.

My favourite still has to be that the Moon landings were all faked. It's the classic, enduring theory that will have withstood all rational thought for 40 years this July. ALL the evidence that we were there, from data collected on the sly and made public at the time by Jodrell Bank to the latest lunar probe pictures showing the blast area of Apollo 17 as its Lunar Module ascent stage took off, have failed to shake the absolute belief that it was all a big hoax. :D

My favorite conspiracy theory, (which is also true) is that it was Hugh Hefner who had J.F.K assassinated.

It all started with Marilyn Monroe.

She was having an affair with J.F.K, which he wanted to keep secret. Thus he was publicly embarrassed when she sang "happy birthday Mr president" to him on T.V, so he got his C.I.A goons to kill her and make it look like a drug overdose. Hugh Hefner, a friend of Marilyn, found out because he had placed cameras in her house in preparation for an erotic realty T.V series they had both come up with.

Hefner had contacts with the Russian mafia in his younger years as an opium smuggler, so he hired a hit man from them to kill J.F.K. The hit man posed as Kennedy driver ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqXoxaJk ... re=related )

Lee Harvey Oswald was actually part of a top secret government agency designated to protecting the president, he knew of the assassination attempt and was trying to shoot the driver. The driver was informed of Oswald's plans and so had to shoot Kennedy during the drive instead of afterward.

The government knew who assassinated J.F.K but they couldn't reveal it because it would start another war with Russia. Oswald was then sent to a top secret government prison for spy's who knew to much, run by both the Russians and Americans, called 'The village'.

It is possible that the moon landing was faked to distract people form digging too deep into this. But I still maintain the landing happened, but the film was faked so the people wouldn't know about the Aliens they found living there.

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.

No no no, the best conspiracy theroy is that the British royal family are all secretly a species of giant evil space lizards, biding their time before they conquer the Earth. And people actually believe this...

Don't be ridiculous, they're not spy's for space lizards. They ARE space lizards.
