That Formula 1 is secretly controlled by octogenarian Nazi midgets
That's not really got legs.
Arthur Scargill and Derek Hatton as MI5 plants is another one - does seem incredible that such a pair of useful idiots could have arisen naturally.Donald Trump is a Democratic secret agent

Both men were under close surveillence, though, with agents planted in their close circles - not too surprising.

How do you land things on a point? You don't. You have a recess in the base of the spacecraft that is pyramid shaped (or the inverse of a pyramid) so the space craft sits over the pyramid - a bit like a cup and cone. the wide base of the pyramid spreads the weight of the craft. Saves having to have undercarriage for a craft that probably spends most of its time travelling through space.
Stargate was a movie, not a documentary. Although the filmakers did shoehorn in various conspiracy theories in to the script. Along with the pyramids being 10000-12000 years old.
And the alignment of the pyramids to the stars on Orions belt being wrong? - yes it is wrong - exactly the point. It is wrong for the time the Egyptians were supposed to have built them. Wind back the orientation of the constellation of Orion a couple of thousand years and they align. So why would the Egyptians build an almost perfect representation of the constellation of Orion relative to the nile that represents the Milky Way, that doesn't actually align with the constellation and the Milky Way? Like I said, something fishy there!
The alignment of the pyramids and the Nile to Orions Belt has never been correct. Now, then or whenever. It's just a story that someone would like to be true. It's close, but if the builders of the pyramids were aimimg to be aligned then they would have made a better job of it, considering the accuracy that they managed elsewhere.
I think Zak Tempest might just have been Brant dressed up.
The only real mystery surrounding the pyramids is why people still believe their origin is a mystery.
Graham saying scientific consensus to them gets the same response as saying road tax to you
Eh, what? Is confused. Are you confusing me with someone else? Since when have I really given much of a shit about road tax, other than the same 🙄 as many others when the subject comes up.
As far as climate change is concerned, what I'm not convinced about is the whole CO2 thing; if there's an issue with levels creeping up, then stop destroying the natural means to keep it down, the forests. It appears that global temperatures have barely increased for over twenty years, there have been periods in the past with far lower global temperatures but higher CO2 levels, and vis versa, and as yet there have been no explanations for how the past five, or possibly more, ice-ages have started, or finished.
And there seem to be almost as many scientists sceptical about man-made climate change as otherwise.
I'm a sceptic. So there, get over it.

Which is fine, I'm over it.
What I was confused about was you saying you didn't believe in conspiracy theories, and then appearing to immediately contradict that by saying that climate change was a conspiracy theory because the climate has always changed.
And there seem to be almost as many scientists sceptical about man-made climate change as otherwise.
That is definitely NOT true (unless you believe there is a conspiracy to hide the real truth).
e.g. NASA says: [i]"Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals show that [b]97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree[/b]: Climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities"[/i]

Thanks for that, exactly what I was thinking, but you beat me to it. There has been [i]so[/i] much bullshit written about the pyramids and how much time it would have taken to construct them, along with the alignment; I think it was that idiot Von Daniken who maintained that it would have taken something like 100 years to build the Great Pyramid without alien help, because the blocks of stone used weighed 100 tons; actually they weighed a tenth of that, around ten tons, apparently.
At least as impressive is the construction of Avebury and it's ditch; with a smaller pool of manpower to draw on, the builders managed to move stones weighing, in two cases at least, up to 100 tones, across countryside that isn't exactly flat.
The intervention of alien technology is responsible for our sudden leaps in technological advancement - man on the moon, space shuttles, iPhones for example and yet also the decline when it runs out / we don't find / aren't given a new bit.
Definitely the case.
Man on the moon is a fairly clear evolution from gun powder via festival entertainment to war weapon to weapon of mass destruction to low earth orbit vehicle to lunar probe and then hybrid plane rocket so easily 1500 years of development so not a sudden leap I phones fall into a similar evolution.
