Are people really this stupid/insane? Seriously, how can they believe 
the crap they spew?

It's just like that guy Buzz Aldrin punched (well deserved, btw) I'd say 
it's lunacy, but they don't believe in that anyway.

  It looks like a spoof site to me.

I think you're right, even the conspiracy believers wouldn't write something 
like this:

Clearly Poe's law holds for more than just fundamentalism.

I thought it was a great site because it's so *obviously* whacked yet uses 
all the same techniques as the other conspiracy theories use.

Depends on whether it actually rotates around the earth ;)

A good question, which this site - as I guess - is all about. I can't take such
guys seriously, but at least in *this* case the crap makes perfect sense as
soon as you don't: A nice brainfuck he's pulling off there.

A meta-hoax, if you like.

I like the "statistical experiment", too (including the statement of
qualification).

It actually doesn't. It rotates around the sun.  If you actually do the 
math, you find that the attraction of the sun on the moon when it's on the 
sunwards side of the earth is stronger than the attraction of the earth on 
the moon.
