Stranger than fiction - challenge

I am constantly amazed at the kind of things people believe in, and I honestly think for every absolutely insane idea there is some nut with a website.

Lets see if we can make up an "insane" conspiracy theory (as opposed to the other kind...:rolleyes:), something you don't think anyone could possibly believe in. Then anyone else can reply with the closest "real" conspiracy theory that's out there in the Interweb or in folklore/newspapers/history/religion/....

Oh, and a couple of rules. Keep it concise, so it's not impossible to find a close match. And David Icke is too easy - he can be blamed for any weird conspiracy so you get no points. Also, maybe keep the 911 conspiracies for somewhere else this time :)

Shakespeare never existed and his plays were created by a computer program invented in the 1950s. What they did was then insert lots of references in popular media that Shakespeare was this important guy and everybody was afraid to admit that they'd never read Shakespeare before, so they all looked him up and found all these old books in the library that nobody had noticed before but were made to look well-thumbed so that everybody believed he really had been around. And the rest of us have been fooled by them.

Proof: There are no You Tube videos of William Shakespeare writing his plays!

Toothpaste is actually a government conspiracy to implant tiny, nanotech signal emmiters that help NWO agents keep track of those that brush their teeth from their secret ECHELON and NSA wiretap facilities located in Guantanamo Bay..

If the NWO can monitor the hygienic, they can get them to part with more of their money when they go to the dentist, which isn't actually a dentist but a CIA front organization that takes your money and funnels it back into a secret escrow account dedicated to the imminent construction of FEMA death camps.

If that one doesn't work, Frank Chu's grand unified conspiracy theory.

And now for the pseudo-theory you've all been waiting for...

Math is fake. There is no such thing as mathematics, because you cannot prove the very existenctial essence of numbers. Anything that you think relied on math for it's development didn't. You are just told that to keep you busy doing make-work.

(I know. I need to flesh out the details a little more. It stems from arguments I have with a frined who's obsessed with the whichness of what, and harps on about accepted math, like [any number]0=1.)

Homosexuality was all but eradicated after Sodom and Gomorrah and this Lasted until the 60's when hippies brought it back with their drugs and "experimenting".

(Does it still count if I didn't make it up?)


ETA: Oh! And Skittles is a plot to recruit children into homosexuality! Taste the rainbow? Eh? Eh?

(No I didn't make that one up either. sigh)

As state primarys get moved further and further ahead, state committes start making use of time machines reverse engineered from UFO engines at Area 51 to move them even further ahead.

This backfires when the early primaries get moved so far ahead that all the candidates previous marriages become valid simultaneously, allowing Mitt Romney to use the polygamy issue against his opponents.

You will never find a theory so outrageous that no one will believe it. As evidence, I provide two links:

The Menehunes, blonde haired Hawaiian dwarves who are so elusive that one never sees them. They are responsible for many pranks such as hiding your car keys when you are in a hurry and eventually placing them in exactly the first place where you looked, like the right thigh pocket of your cargo pants.

Sunday doesn't really exist.

The day was created by the Egyptians to worship their Sun God and 'They' have been brainwashing everyone ever since to believe it.

This is why the christians made the rule not to work on Sundays. It was their way of showing the 'faithful' the 'truth'.

What do you think? stoopid enuf?

[Brainache]

That 19 guys actually were on a sacred mission to glorify the Creator of the Universe. The Creator of the Universe promised these men all kinds of rewards to do what they did. No one could believe that, could they?

The Iran-Iraq war never happened. It was all a scam to hike up oil prices, bolstered by a few choreographed "battles" and some staged TV & video recording.

Here's one that might play in my neck of the woods...

Dale Earnhardt is still alive. C'mon... you think that crash at the 2001 Daytona 500 could really kill The Intimidator? He was removed from the crashed car in perfect health, and was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital, so they say. To leave the track, the ambulance had to go through a tunnel under the banking... it was there where the ambulance containing Dale was detoured through a hidden passage to a secret facility underneath the track itself, while a decoy ambulance containing a look-alike who was an unfortunate sacrifice for the project exited the tunnel and continued on to the hospital, where death was declared and an autopsy was performed. This is why results and photos of the autopsy were never made public despite media requests.
The Earnhardt Project was implemented for several reasons.

So NASCAR would be able to implement new safety guidelines without resistance from the other drivers
So NASCAR could get changes to the structure of the series' cars in later years
To remind the fans of the drivers' mortality, as well as their own, driving them to attend church more regularly
To shake things up at the top of the series
To ensure the ascent of a new fan favourite driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and move a ton of merchandise
To move another ton of merchandise in memory of Dale Earnhardt and ensure the future profitability of both Earnhardt franchises
Someone high up the NASCAR hierarchy hates the number 3
To, once and for all, end the love/hate relationship some fans had with Earnhardt and turn it into eternal love and respect
To enable the State of Florida to change its public records laws to make things less accessible
Dale wanted to divorce his wife Teresa, but found it would be extremely difficult and would leave her primarily in control of his assets and his money; furthermore, a large amount of any further income he made in his racing career would default to her as well

Dale is currently being held at an armoured underground bunker near NASCAR headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. At one point, he was held in a similar armoured underground bunker at Fort Rucker in Alabama that has been rumoured to have sheltered Elvis Presley and legendary Alabama football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. The eventual aim of this project is to one day, when NASCAR is in need of a savior, release Dale back into the public eye and onto the race track. They still plan to stick with the part of the theory where Dale died initially, so as to imply that he hath risen and help NASCAR make the move from mere auto racing to full-blown religion.

The Berlin Wall was actually built to keep all those West Berliners OUT of East Berlin.

There was no Iron Curtain, no Communist Eastern Europe. In fact, they enjoyed much the same standard of living as us. It was all just a ploy to keep is in fear and docile.

Now we have Global Warming instead.

Area 51 is actually a 51st state of the USA, secretly created to house the embassies of alien races the USA is in contact with.

No it was an invisible alien, and they killed the alien with a live electrical wire laying on the ground.

Count Chocola is actually an illuminati vampire who runs a multi-national corporation based out of Vienna. His cereal contains microchip dust that is used to control the minds of those that inhale it. The chips make the adults who inhale them buy products from his corporation which secretly uses the profits to clone an army of vampires which they keep in Area 51 and in certain parts of the center of the earth waiting to take over the world when the time is right. He is also in cahoots with the count on Sesame Street who spreads pro communist/ russian and anti-american messages as well as the grand fallacy of numbers.
