    That's not a theory - Dr Who proved it.

    Anyway, my personal favourite whacko theory is that the US never landed on the moon. Lots of crazies love that one and it's so deliciously conspiratorial, using all the usual suspects - government, Hollywood, media, the Amish...

    My favourite conspiracy theory is a flat earth explanation for how satellite phones work: the signal are broadcast from very tall towers and aeroplanes.
    "Look I’ve got my old pledge card a bit battered and crumpled we said we’d provide more turches churches teachers and we have I can remember when people used to say the Japanese are better than us the Germans are better than us the French are better than us well it’s great to be able to say we’re better than them I think Mr Kennedy well we all congratulate on his baby and the Tories are you remembering what I’m remembering boom and bust negative equity remember Mr Howard I mean are you thinking what I’m thinking I’m remembering it’s all a bit wonky isn’t it?"

    There seems to be indication that the US govenrment made a 'back up video' to show to the public in case actual footage of the moon landing couldn't be broadcasted.

    Yes. I heard about that doc, and I guess it makes sense to an extent.

    Hippies are peaceful, long haired, free-loving folks. That conspiracy scares the bijesus out of me...
