Popular conspiracy theories
Wired magazine recently had an article on the best conspiracty theories, here is a list:
1. NASA faked the moon landing (possibly scripted by Arthur C. Clarke)
2. The US government was behind 9/11
3. Princess Diana was murdered (to stop her from marrying her Muslim boyfriend)
4. The Jews run Hollywood and Wall Street (building off the dubious Protocols of the Elders of Zion)
5. The Scientologists run Hollywood (because of the many celebrities toting Dianetics)
6. Paul McCartney is dead (replaced in ‘69 by a look-alike, supported by his later solo career)
7. AIDS is a man-made disease (an engineered bioweapon)
8. Church’s fried chicken sterilizes black men (and KFC is secretly run by the KKK)
9. Lizard-people run the world (many world leaders - Bush, British royals - actually shape-shifting aliens)
10. Illuminati run the world (via one or more secret societies: Freemasons, Rosicrucians, the Trilateral Commission, Skull and Bones)

Also, are you dissing Macca’s post-Beatle work? Band on the Run and Vanilla Sky, at least, are awesome. Even his new Chaos and Confusion album is decent.
