Yes, I know: competition is stiff. But if you can find a cospiracy that's dumber than this, it must really be something:

The "reporter fail" had me laughing so hard, for some reason, my wife woke up and ran to see if I'm OK.

Well I guess that just goes to prove that some men just can't walk and talk at the same time.

No it was about the younger Shrub getting revenge because of Saddam's attempted assassination of Ma and Pa Bush when they were in Kuwait in 1993.

I gotta say... that makes just about every other conspiracy theory I've heard sound like they have high logic, and that's saying a lot... :cool:

Well, that's a good try, but it's not quite as dumb as the conspiracy theory in the OP.

Oy, that is awful.

I'm not sure it is better but one time in my life I was active in a local Sierra Club group and some of the group officers thought the mayor of the city (of 350,000) was trying to manipulate the elections for the officers of the group because we had taken a position against one of his pet projects.

If you are unaware of Sierra Club bureaucracy, there is the national organization, then their are chapters often made up of a state and then groups within the state to comprise the chapter usually organized around major cities.

David Icke and Nancy Lieder are even dumber than Jordan Maxwell or Erich von Däniken. Raelians are also stupid.

The sprinkler conspiracy's one for the ages. Pray God this woman didn't procreate (although given the apparent suburban locale, she's probably a minivan-driving soccer mom).:shocked::shocked::shocked::shocked:

Don't laugh. I had my water tested and the lab found an extremely high concentration of the dreaded HHO molecule!:biggrin:

Two Doctor Who CTs: 1)The BBC never destroyed all the old black-and-white episodes from the 1960's that it said it did, and instead keeps them in a secret underground vault. Every so often they "allow" some to be discovered, thus saving the face of those who claimed to have destroyed them. Related to me in all seriousness at a science fiction convention.
2) A group of speculators clubbed together to purchase the only film copy of Episode 4 of "The Tenth Planet", and are keeping it hidden until the BBC will pony-up the tens of thousands of pounds they are demanding for it's release.

Don’t worry. High concentrations of HOH have been known to cause such false readings.
