Who doesn’t love a good conspiracy theory? They’re fun, but thankfully most of them aren’t true. Here are some of the most popular ones:
10. Flat Earth: Seriously, there’s about three of you left. You’ve got Neil DeGrasse Tyson and every space mission since 1969 against you. How’s that working out?
9. Avril Lavigne died and was replaced by a look-a-like: How do we debunk this unless someone took her fingerprints?
8. Freddie Mercury once dressed Princess Diana as a man and snuck her into a gay bar: I hope this one is true. Diana deserved to get out of the stodgy castle and have some fun.
7. Guy Fierie and the lead singer of Smashmouth are the same guy: Really? Who cares about this?
6. Keanu Reeves is a time traveler: I really want this to be true.
5. Albert Einstein was/is a time traveler: I’m totally in on this one but I can’t tell you why.
4. The Berenstain Bears used to be The Berenstein Bears and we remember it the other way from a parallel universe. Read THIS Phil Factor post from August 2015.
3. The Earth is hollow and is filled with aliens: That’s too bad. I was hoping it was filled with chocolate.
2. The U.S. government covered up a crash of an alien spacecraft in Roswell, New Mexico: This is the most popular alien conspiracy theory and yet after fifty years no one has seen proof.
1. The moon landing was faked in a movie studio: To be honest, who cares if this is true or not? How does it effect us one way or another?
So which one is your favorite? Which do you hope is true? Which do you hope isn’t true? Do you have other favorite conspiracy theories?
Have a great Tuesday! ~Phil
I definitely want the Princess Diana/Freddie Mercury theory to be true. It sounds like a really fun night out.
Same.
I want the time travel stuff to be true, but I also want in on it! As for Diana and Freddie – I hope that was true, too! Maybe if I get in on the time traveling I can confirm that one…
That would be fun to spend the night out with those two
My favorite is definitely the Keanu Reeves one. Seriously, he stared in Bill in Ted’s adventures. He literally advertised his abilities.
I hope to God no.8 is true and I just have a feeling it is. Now that’s a night I would’ve loved to have joined in with.
As a Keanu fan, I’m hoping that one’s true.
I know, right? That would be so awesome for no reason at all
Keanu Reeves is a time traveler! Love it! Hope it’s true. The parallel universe theory is not proven by a low-paid TV Guide typist who made a typo.
I agree on that one
Gawd…it’s like Facebook vomited and the puddle of puke congealed into this post…
I love the Guy Fieri theory! Absolutely hilarious! Can you please check out my recent post on my blog, it’d mean a lot. Thanks 🙂
Holy shit, number 4 – YES! Don’t mess with my childhood!!
Which way do you remember it? Berenstain or Berenstein?
BerenstEin! It was NEVER stain FFS!
LOL! I remember it the other way! Always BerenSTAIN! I guess we grew up in different parallel universes .
Hahahaha makes sense… I am at the bottom of the Earth… unless you are a flat earther and then I’m in the upside down!
Upside down? So you watched Stranger Things too?
I have! Absolutely loved it. I haven’t seen season 2 so no spoilers please 🙂
Go watch it! Season 2 is as good as Season 1. (Also, the whole show is eerily similar to my 2013 novel The Sneaker Tree)
I’ll have to check out both; the show AND your book!!
Literally after the first season came out, a writer friend of mine messaged me and said it reminded him of my book. You don’t have to check out my book though. I’d love to hear what you thought of Season 2 after you watch it
#7. Yes, who cares. Word! I hope the Diana/Freddy Mercury story is true. Badassss!!
I’ve always thought General Relativity had something to do with Jennifer Lopez’ ass.
Great post. lol
Thank you!
