I'm just giggling madly. How could you even transcribe that into your own 
publishing system without realizing it's a joke? Are they just 
cut-and-pasting content without even reading it to make up their "newspaper"?

BTW, if you want amusing conspiracy theory, rent the movie "Conspiracy 
Theory" staring Mel Gibson. If you haven't seen it, you should. The acting 
is excellent if nothing else. Listen closely to things going on in the 
background too. :-)

I always liked, as a kid, the explanation that something was too complex
for us mere humans to create that we had to borrow the technology from
aliens. It makes for interesting stories with really absurd devices.

But to look at the things we have made, and still be able to say "Humans
aren't capable of making that from scratch," seems to be either
intentionally insulting or very egotistical. The first because they know
better and just prefer to think aliens did it, the latter because they
can not understand it themselves so no one else would be able to either.

Mine too. Now, if only I could reverse engineer this mind-control-ray, I
could convince everyone that the moon landing was not faked.

  I have a theory: Maybe the whole Moon landing conspiracy theory was
initiated by NASA itself, to draw attention away from something much
more serious. When people are fighting over whether the landings were
real or not, they will miss the real issue.

  (What the real issue is? I haven't formed a theory about that yet, but
keep tuned...)

They probably believe that anything could happen in the West :)

	Awesome movie (in the "fun" sense). I think it's seriously 
underappreciated.

Are you going to be using the remote control, or will someone else?

Ah, I phrased it wrong. The actual quote is "Secretly attempting to control 
my own mind."
