Mythbusters Bust Moon Landing Conspiracy Nuts

[UT Spring Branch]

Thye busted 5 of them. Very interesting - I had some supposedly smart people think that we did not go to the moon.

Just because someone is "smart" does not mean they have a grip on reality. It constantly amazes me how many people believe the NASA lunar missions were hoaxes. I suppose it is a societal manifestation of distrust in government in general.

There are supposedly "smart" people that still believe that Dick Cheney, et. al., masterminded 9/11. Go figure.

I'm still amazed that people think a group of Saudis flew the planes into the buildings.

Have any of these conspiracies ever turned out to be true?

I'm still amazed that people think the Rebel Alliance actually blew up the Empire's moon-sized battlestation.

Of course they busted it. Do you really think the Military Industrial Complex in this country would let them CONFIRM the conspiracy?

...so naive..

 

[accuratehorn]

Psssst: I found out MythBusters is really just filmed in a TV studio.

Statalyzer, that was hilarious.

Despite that, is the "Flat Earth Society" still around? I always thought those folks were a hoot to listen to and their reasons whay the earth is flat.

That "Flat Earth" website has to be tongue in cheek, right?

I can't believe that they are serious.

if the earth is flat, how come none o them sailin' sumbitches ever fell off before they got back round from where they started? answer that question you flat earth peoples.

How about the West Wing Episode with the People for the Liberation of the Map, how Europe is so much bigger on a map than other continents.......

The other one that I actually believe in is the OJ consipiracy.....

LOL yeah that was good too - when you dispute that every bit of proof is genuine, proving something's kind of hard.

I do like their explanation that we're surrounded by a massive wall of ice. Thank goodness those early sailers just bumped right into it like one of those rubber duck ponds!

"You can't do that!"
"Why not?"
"Because it's freaking me out!"
