Planes can't fly, scientists have proven that they scientifically can't fly because they're not shaped like bumble bees.

There was someone on QOTF who told the class about how they got to a point where they didn't believe other countries existed.
That planes just flew around for a while and the airport staff changed the scenery and stuff, and then landed. You enjoyed your holiday, and then "flew" back, when they changed all the scenery back.
They got sectioned for a bit, I think, but they're alright now.

I quite like the Titanic one - that the ship was already damaged so they plate-swapped it and sent it out anyway so that they could claim it on insurance.

It basically fell down hours after 9/11

The twin towers were steel as well,
They showed how the fire protection on them was compromised by the collision, and the aviation fuel allowed far higher temps than would normally happen in a building fire.

Neither did Building 7
It was hit by a lot of heavy debris from the wtc which then started the fires, once there is any point of structural weakness it is easy to extrapolate that as the point of failure

Muslims keep all the *really* funny Mohammed cartoons tucked inside their copies of the Qur'an.

We are actually an alien race, left here by other worlds, to mine this and subsequent planets as we see fit.
This is why there are U.F.O's on many ancient hieroglyphics.
Cats were also left here by this race. They were worshipped by the ancient Egyptians and are keeping an eye on us.

Funnily enough there is credible scientific evidence that life may not have been native to Earth.
Theory goes that the meteor that extinguished the dinosaurs threw tonnes and tonnes of rock into space. Maths predicts that hundred of tonnes of the stuff landed on Mars, purely through the law of averages.
Since that's the case, it's entirely credible it could have happened in reverse, seeding Earth with microbial life.

I had a wonderfully cliched stoned conversation with our bass player one afternoon about how he reckoned spiders are aliens.
That they came down on some meteor before we were fully evolved, and we carry the genetic memory of them being "other", and that's why people tend to be scared of them.

Insects used to be fucking huge in the oxygen rich atmosphere of the prehistoric.
That's why I'm shit scared of moths. Some genetic memory of moths the size of light aircraft terrorising my distant shrew ancestors.

I had one the other week where we concluded that we are basically a chemical reaction.
When we age it is the chemicals deteriorating. So when we die there will be nothing.
It was obviously a lot more intricate than that. We had no explanation for our feelings and free will though.
Space conversations are fucked up too. I still don;t get space.
