"Conspiracy. Just saying the word in conversation can make people politely edge away, looking for someone who won't corner them with wild theories about how Elvis, John F. Kennedy, and Bigfoot are cryogenically frozen in an underground bunker.

Yet conspiracies do exist. In the corporate world, major companies we buy products from everyday have been found guilty of conspiring to fix prices and reduce competition. Just about any planned criminal act committed by more than one person could be considered a conspiracy, from simple murder-for-hire to the Watergate break-in. Many conspiracy theorists go much further, though, and see a hidden hand behind the world's major events. While some of the theories have a grain of truth to them, conspiracy theories are impossible to disprove, because the hardcore believers will find some way to rationalize away evidence that contradicts their beliefs. Eyewitnesses who dispute their conclusions are mistaken--or part of the conspiracy. At least that's what they want you to think...
Do me a favor and list them. I don't wanna muck about this suspicious "Live Science" interweb site... I'm jes' sayin'...

Nope, sorry-- you have to read the article yourself....or not..your choice.
I really don't care whether anyone does or not...but I'm not interested in wiping anyone's runny noses if they can't (or won't) do it themselves :-)

Krishna, some conspiracy theories are hard to disprove, except in the cases where the theories connect the dots.
Krishna,
I know they had to limit this to 10, but here are a few of my favorites:
1. LBJ ordered the assassination of JFK
2. The existence of a world government (the New World Order and Black Helicopters)
3. Birtherism
4. Obama as the Anti-Christ
5. Detroit suppressing alternative-fuel cars
6. AIDS is a man-made disease
7. The US antenna facility in Alaska is deliberately causing the Russian heat wave and fires
8. Global warming is a myth
Wow - I could go on all day! Thanks for a good chuckle.
The truth is out there...

1. LBJ ordered the assassination of JFK
I've heard several conspiracy theories about the JFK assassination-- LBJ of course. Also popular are theories that Castro was behind it-- or the Mafia! (Of course everyone knows it was really George Bush!!! :-)

I would never buy toys made in China-- so many are contaminated with lead.

I'm not sure where my American Girl dolls were made. Probably China. I'm not sure, I haven't checked the "Made in..." inscription.

Nobody worried about toys with lead contamination when I was a kid, and I have no ill effects from it. For all that matters, working in my father's business I virtually breathed asbestos dust, and my lungs are just fine. Lots of bullsh*t flying around I would say.

I would have thought the conspiracy theory that the Mossad and Bush were behind the 9/11 disaster would have made the list.
Oooops. I should have read the article before I commented about 9/11. That will teach me. Krishna, to save me a lot of embarrassment, please delete #7 and this one.

Spooky Boyfriend's Top Ten Conspiracy Theories:
10. Barking at the mailman makes you a media critic; that's what "The Man" wants you to think man...
9. Linear thought turns on itself and becomes the Ouroboros.
8. "...today I got an unsolicited advert' mailing from Siruis radio trying to get me to up my service with the offer of free satellite radio sports coverage of the PGA season. Radio golf? Seriously, whiskey tango foxtrot? "The Man" has a satellite so they can listen to golf..."
7. How did you know that I think about paranoid conspiracy theories?... Well?
6. Dark Side of the Moon synchs up with "The Wizard of OZ". Coincidence? I think not. Obviously there is an underground Anglo-Jewish Techno-hipster cabal of Hollywood flunkies and Cambridge junkies and performing monkeys.
5. I am really upset this article makes light of the plight of us Sasquatch-Americans. We are people too but kind of not and out by the treeline. I'd explain this but then I would have to kill and eat you.
4. Robotic cats are following and recording my every move...
3. ...so are the cops. @!$%# the police...
2. O.J. Simpson went to the moon.
...and the #1 Spooky Boyfriend Top Ten Conspiracy Theory: Energy can be neither created nor destroyed.
