Okay, so if you haven't been living under a rock, you've come across at least one conspiracy theory in the deep bowls of the interwebs. I'm currently writing a story about the weird stuff people come up with while trying to understand strange things that have happened in history.I was doing research on this and I found this interesting article http://www.thewire.com/national/2013/04/12-million-americans-believe-lizard-people-run-our-country/63799/ about the sheer numbers of people who believe in this stuff*. My main question here is: Do you guys believe in any of this stuff? I'm not saying all of it is nonsense, a lot of them make a lot of sense if they don't talk about ridiculous garbage like "Obama is the antichrist" or "Joe Biden's making us gay".

I have heard that some people believe in conspiracy of the royal British family when princess Diana died, because they couldn't let a child from a Muslim country be heir to the throne, I don't know what you think.

Interesting, I've heard a couple about the royal family. My favorite one is that the queen is a lizard person. I've also seen this one where the reason queen Elizabeth is still alive is that she's a vampire. 

I believe we're living in something like the matrix, a computer simulation. There's some thought that I might be the solipsist, an experiment inside a virtual reality. I keep myself open to the conspiracy theories, but not the ones you mentioned.

Oh, and I dare you to look up images of 'solipsist' on google. Now that's horrifying.

That's some freaky shit.

Can anyone actually explain to me what a lizard person is? Or why people believe these lizard people are taking over the world? Any reason why it must be a lizard and not a koala???

A lizard person is a member of the reptilian race. They are believed to look like humans, but with lizard complexion. Most of the theories state that the lizzards kidnap, probe, and clone you on their ship, then they send a probe down to replace you. Obama is the prime target for these theorists for some reason. I have no idea why they are lizards, I guess it just sounds cool.

Goddamnit humanity. *shakes fist angrily at the sky*

Because if it were koalas, we'd really be screwed.
