Conspiracy theories can be fun, but some can be way out there. Here are the most outlandish conspiracy theories people have heard.
1. No Landings Here
That the moon is a hoax. Not the moon landings the moon itself.

My dad seriously thinks that the government manipulates the weather so they can make money on a certain type of bread.

3. He’s Still Out There
A few years ago when I was in Jordan, I was speaking to some Jordanian soldiers they told me that they all knew Osama Bin Laden wasn’t killed and that he was a political prisoner and was in the same prison as Sadam Hussein.

4. Our Dinosaur Overlords
My chemistry teacher has this “dinosaur theory.”
Humans have lived for only a fraction of a million years, and we’ve come very far. Sending a man on the moon, splitting atoms, television… in a pretty short time span. Dinosaurs, however, had millions of years to live on the earth. Logic would dictate that they would get much farther than humans have. But why did they all die?
They didn’t die. The dinosaurs knew what was going to happen to the earth. So they got in their space ships, and flew off to a different, undisclosed planet. Why didn’t they come back?
They did return. You’ve read mythology of medieval times, right? What about Chinese mythology? A lot of different civilizations, all around the span of a few centuries, had dragons in their myths. They’re not made up fantasy creatures, the dinosaurs returned to Earth, striking fear into the people, who had not the weapons to kill it. But they left. Why?
The dinosaurs left Earth again because it was too cold. As cold blooded creatures, the dinosaurs could not live on Earth at the time. So the dinosaurs are done with Earth now, right? Wrong.
They are preparing the planet for their return. After millions of years underground, we have found a fuel source from extinct plants that suits our needs in terms of technology. But what’s the downside? It’s causing global warming. That’s right, the dinosaurs are literally tricking us into preparing a nice, toasty planet for them. “We have other fuel sources though!” one might say, “Soon, solar, wind, and nuclear energy will make fossil fuels obsolete!” It won’t happen under their watch. But why, you might ask?
The dinosaurs control the media. “This is ridiculous,” you’re thinking. “We’d know if dinosaurs were in the media!” What you would be forgetting is that the dinosaurs are extremely advanced. They have disguising technology that makes them appear human. This is not only for the fossil fuel industry, however. The dinosaurs work in all sorts of media. Have you seen Jurassic Park 2? The one girl is nice to the dinosaur, and feeds it. The dinosaur is friendly and means no harm. Later, that same dinosaur is attacked by a man, and is killed by it. The dinosaurs want you to obey them. They don’t want you to fear them either. Think about children’s shows and movies with dinosaurs in them. Barney, The Land Before Time, Dinosaurs, Dinosaur… the list is endless. What about their new form, dragons? Dragon Tales. This brainwashing is not only in children’s stuff. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is filled with them. There are friendly dragons, like Paarthurnax. However, by nature, they rule. You don’t have shouts, you don’t have magic. When the dinosaurs come back, you will submit to them.

My uncle is convinced that the world actually did end last December, but we just haven’t realized it yet because of some cover up.

7. The Dark Suckers
For years, it has been believed that electric bulbs emit light, but recent information has proved otherwise. Electric bulbs don’t emit light; they suck dark. Thus, we call these bulbs Dark Suckers. The Dark Sucker Theory and the existence of dark suckers prove that dark has mass, is heavier than light, and is faster than light.
First, the basis of the Dark Sucker Theory is that electric bulbs suck dark. For example, take the Dark Sucker in the room you are in. There is much less dark right next to it than there is elsewhere. The larger the Dark Sucker, the greater its capacity to suck dark. Dark Suckers in the parking lot have a much greater capacity to suck dark than the ones in your room. As it is with all things, Dark Suckers don’t last forever. Once they are full of dark, they can no longer suck. This is proven by the dark spot on a full Dark Sucker. A candle is a primitive Dark Sucker. A new candle has a white wick. You can see that after the first use, the wick turns black, representing all the dark that has been sucked into it. If you put a pencil next to the wick of an operating candle, it will turn black. This is because it got in the way of the dark flowing into the candle.
One of the disadvantages of these primitive Dark Suckers is their limited range. There are also portable Dark Suckers. In these, the bulbs can’t handle all the dark by themselves and must be aided by a Dark Storage Unit. When the Dark Storage Unit is full, it must be either emptied or replaced before the portable Dark Sucker can operate again. Dark has mass. When dark goes into a Dark Sucker, friction from the mass generates heat. Thus, it is not wise to touch an operating Dark Sucker. Candles present a special problem as the mass must travel into a solid wick instead of through clear glass. This generates a great amount of heat and therefore it’s not wise to touch an operating candle. Also, dark is heavier than light. If you were to swim just below the surface of the lake, you would see a lot of light.
If you were to slowly swim deeper and deeper, you would notice it getting darker and darker. When you get really deep, you would be in total darkness. This is because the heavier dark sinks to the bottom of the lake and the lighter light floats at the top. That is why it is called light. Finally, we must prove that dark is faster than light. If you were to stand in a lit room in front of a closed, dark closet, and slowly opened the closet door, you would see the light slowly enter the closet. But since dark is so fast, you would not be able to see the dark leave the closet.

9. Rock You Like A Hurricane
I heard this one from a client after Hurricane Katrina: The US government created Hurricane Katrina with weather-controlling technology purchased from the Soviets when the USSR collapsed. How else do you explain Hurricane Katrina traveling precisely over the International Hurricane Research Center in Florida, then taking a right turn and demolishing a good number of the oil rigs in the Gulf outside of NOLA, thus spiking oil prices and putting a lot of money in GW Bush and Cheney’s pockets?

10. One More Time With Feeling
That the Village People were a covert operation by the US government to cheer everyone up during the recessions and oil crises of the 1970s.
So what if you lost your job and have to stay at the YMCA? It’s fun to stay at the YMCA! Or what about the Navy? You can sail the seven seas! After that it kind of got out of hand.

Elvis is in fact not dead. Elvis faked his own death after he became tiresome of the fame and pill abuse. He entered rehab, got clean and grew a beard. After some time he began to long for fame and fortune and reemerged into the spot light under his new alias….Kenny Rogers.

16. A Mighty Good Man
That Jar lids are made super tight, so that when Women attempt to open them, they can’t, and ask a Man to open them, which they will (98.9% of the time). The point of this is to keep the Patriarchy in-place.

Christian Bale has a twin brother, an emaciated twin brother that he uses for roles that require him to be really skinny. That’s how he’s able to continually transform his body from skeleton to superbuff.

25. Killed By The King
My mom truly believes that Stephen King killed John Lennon. He may not have pulled the trigger, but he orchestrated the whole event. Why Stephen King? I have no idea. I found this out when they assigned us Carrie to read in high school and she threw a fit, saying she would not allow any of that vile man’s words into her house. Then she turned on Imagine and cried.

30. Wipe On, Wipe Off
My dad says that all of the windshield wiper companies could easily produce an affordable wiper with a lifetime guarantee, but are colluding to make bad wipers so you’ll have to replace them every few years. This is an issue that affects every household in America, and the only reason that there hasn’t been a public investigation into this conspiracy is that the Feds are in on it too.
