NOT politics (mostly)--the Princess and the Frog

The Conspiracy
Just curious--what groups, cults, government organizations, religious bodies, etc. do YOU think of when you think of "the Conspiracy?" You know, THEM, the ones who hold back the electric car, faked the moon landing, want to put bar codes into everything, etc.
You may list as many or as few examples as you wish, cite sources, etc. I'm including ( Read more... ) -
Are you an intellectually sexy geek?
Okay, so, to introduce/frame this concept, two of my favorite IT/engineering jokes: ( Apart from the teaser, the rest is behind a cut because I'm nice that way. )
