So I got an email today from a conspiracy theorist.
His claim? The truth of an issue can be determined by the number of Google or Yahoo hits it receives.
FEMA camps has several thousand hits, therefore, they are real!!!
Alien abductions, ALSO has thousands of hits, hundreds of thousands of them. Does that mean, they are TRUE too???
This is the kind of logic and intelligence we are dealing with here folks.

So I guess that means that women really do hang around naked all the time in sorority houses...
It is the truth folks! :D

"futurama" = 13,900,000 hits
"fema camps"=264,000 hits
ergo
Futurama is ~53 times more TRUE? That's pretty sweet, until you remember that 53 times zero is still zero.

Yes. Someone who thinks that Truth is proportional to the number of Google hits it receives, is indeed lacking in brain cells.

Cool, I always thought "Lord of the Rings" was true. With 23,400,000 Google hits, it turns out I'm right. Same is true of that well-known series of historical documents, the Star Trek series (31,500,000 hits) and Harry Potter (77,900,000 hits). However, when I googled the guy who sits at the next desk along from me at work, I only got 55 hits, so clearly he's fictitious. I wonder if he knows?

I have seen a couple of truthers on this forum use google hits as evidence to support their arguments; when presented illogical nature of their methods, they simply run away.

I had a math prof that had fun with this concept. He put a tricky problem on the board and three possible answers. Had the class vote on what we thought the correct answer was before we had a chance to actually work out the problem. The one that got the most votes was declared correct by the prof.
He called this proof by democracy.

'Bigfoot' gets a whopping 7,540,000 whereas typing in '"Alex Jones"+credibility' gets a mere 45,600.
I think it works in showing which is the more real in that instance. :)

"Alex Jones irrefutable facts" is only 17,000.
"Alex Jones is a wanker" beats that with 22,000
BTW,
"Boobs" gets 54,000,000. Comforting to know some truths in life are constant.

Yeah, when the whole goes insane before being carted off into a dark dimension for Unspeakable purposes, FEMA camps seem a minor issue.
