I've already heard all the 911 Truth and I'm bored with it. Can we go to how the moon landings were fake? I was too young for that when it was big, so I mostly missed it.

Or how about the flat earth? I have a great one for it, an excerpt from an old mimeographed Flat Earth pamphlet of some kind. The gist of it was something like this:
Some old Flat Earther wrote:Round-earthers are always saying they can prove the earth is round by watching a ship sail down over the horizon. Well, we got a boat and we sailed right out there, to where the round earth supposedly curves, and when we got there, you know what? The sea was perfectly level.
I was a teenager before it was cool.

You round-earthers are so smug, but just try this: go to the tool section of your local hardware store and try to find a laser level that accounts for the earth's supposed curvature. I'll wait.

Mythbusters sucked all the fun of the moon landing conspiracy.

Yeah, but for my money Buzz Aldrin's version of mythbusting was a bit more on the nose.

:D And brought it to my door as a gift. When my kids were young, every morning there would be a random Lego or K'nex as an offering. Lately it's been door stops and Ziplocs of small parts from my workbench.
