The cholesterol thing seems like misunderstood science sparking a conspiracy theory. Kind of like with the vaccine thing. Something like 80-90 percent of the cholestrol in your body is naturally produced irrespective of diet. it's when problematic diets contribute to increased cholesterol when problems occur. So obviously cholesterol should be approached as a dietary and nutrition issue, and not some number that someone picked out and everyone has to target just because.

Brilliant. Loved it, all of it!
It's amazing to what lengths human imagination could bring people when they're bored and don't know what to do in their spare time.
Also I always knew I should be careful with redheads!

My favorite example of a conspiracy was the Soviet spy that headed HUAC in its earliest days. You can't make shit like that up. :-).

Reminds me of the recent spy plot by the Russians in the US. The whole thing was hilarious.

[underlankers]

Yup. But then real spying often is kind of hilarious. I think my second-favorite conspiracy idea of all time was the forgotten Aurora Conspiracy. The whole phantom Airships thing itself was rather bizarre, even by the standards of a century of bizarre hysterias.

Great list!

Seems like every country has its own conspiracies and some "magic" places, like our Tsarichina Hole, which is a portal to another dimension. Oh, and ET's regularly park their saucers there.

2010 - World War III. War will begin in November 2010 and end in October 2014. Will begin as usual, then nuclear will be used initially, and then chemical weapons.

Yeah, right? I almost stopped reading there, but then...

2011 - As a result of the fallout of nuclear fallout in the northern hemisphere will not be any animals or vegetation. Then Muslims will wage war against chemical surviving Europeans.

OH SHEESH!!!

Yeah, just too many events in a couple of centuries. Planets change their orbits, the Sun cools off and the fundamental laws of physics change - and all that, by 2200!? Wow.

Well, you truly are a devil but that's another topic.

Still, some conspiracies do happen in real. Only sometimes. http://www.cracked.com/article_15974_7-insane-conspiracies-that-actually-happened.html

The Smurfs is the best one.

Operation Snow White scares the shit out of me to this day.

[box_in_the_box]

And of course the Smurfs weren't Klansmen.

They were communists.

Of course they were, they're a French creation, aren't they?
