Some of these made me laugh out loud.....

You mean, the Moon's not a hologram?!

[IrishTiger]

Anytime I hear anything about the moon, I end up thinking about Despicable Me......Maybe the moon really was stolen, and a hologram is up in its place.....

That's no moon...it's a space station

[~JCGJ~]

You see, the "moon" was only invented by the government to give a reason for the "tides" (which are really caused by giant generaters in the ocean that provide the power needed to replace the sun (which is also a hologram), because it was accidentally destroyed during WWII, when then US did some nuclear bomb testing in space. The reason the tides travel around the Earth, is because if the generaters in one location were left on for too long, they would flood entire continents).

I have looked at a coupe more websites and I'm actually starting to doubt the moon's existence. Ugh, I'm such a sucker for this stuff...

[~JCGJ~]

I'm convinced that North Dakota doesn't exist.
Think about it:
Do you know anyone in North Dakota?
Have you ever been to North Dakota?
Have you ever see a North Dakota license plate?
(Except, I did see a Truck from ND (but only once)).

[IrishTiger]

My dad has been in ND....and I've seen license plates from there....but maybe SD took over ND and the government is keeping it from us......

[Catspaw]

I've been to North Dakota more than once...but then, you've never met me, so maybe I'm lying and/or so deceived that I just thought that I was in North Dakota! The ice cream that I ate at Culvers was all a lie!

It's amazing the things that people insist upon believing sometimes. The moon is a lie!

I've bean in Nourth Dakoota lotsa times. It daas exist. My uncle lives up dere, and I have met him.

Now I thought North Dakota was land rejected by both the US and Canada but they are masquerading as a state of the US hoping we forget that we rejected them.

when then US did some nuclear bomb testing in space.

This is actually almost true. All good conspiracy theories have pieces of fact scattered around. That’s why people start convincing themselves about them.

Conspiracy theorists are really a conspiracy themselves... They are trying to get you side tracked with silly conspiracies so that you don't ever find out what THEY don't want you to know.

Exactly. Creating a convincing Conspiracy Theory is an art form that, I believe, has been all but lost... I'm trying to bring it back.

SHHHHH!!! Don't rat us out!

P.S.I like your choice of smiley, BTW

Sometimes I wonder if every single "person" on the ToO are actually just Top running multiple accounts.

I LOVED the "fake snow" conspiracy.

Yeahhh, the government is really going to drop millions of tons of ARTIFICIAL snow onto the country and hope that nobody notices. No. At some point, a chemist would wonder why snow is not melting in the microwave, and he would definitely be curious enough to examine it. The sad part is that a number of my friends shared it on Facebook... the scientist inside me died that day.

(Personal note: Some of my family members - including immediate family - are hardcore conspiracy theorists.)

I'll take that as a compliment.

I don't have time at the moment, but I always love these awful advertisements that keep you watching to the very end (without letting you skip to the end) by promising to reveal some "crazy secret."
Is anyone willing to watch this thing all the way through?

I was eating as I read this, and when I got to the end I lost the ability to chew.

I love a good conspiracy! Also, I'm Top!

edit: I had to remember my password for this old account. Yay, spammy-me from a long time ago.

*snickers* My great grandmother didn't believe people actually landed on the moon.
