    The moon one is quite popular and some people put the 'evidence' that we haven't been across quite convincingly. Mythbusters did a great show though talking through the 'evidence' that we haven't been and doing some experiments - there verdict was the Myth is 'BUSTED' (e.g. we have been to the moon).

    I am not a fan of conspiracy theories either - will have to think if have a favorite, but I always think is either a conspiracy or a C O C K up then is 90% chance is a C O C K up - and I reckon most conspiracy theories require more secrecy and planning than we are capable of (especially in this day in age keeping secrets seems almost impossible)

    I used to like the one where they said that the pyramids were built by aliens. They say there is a formation on Mars that looks like a pyramid and matches the ones here on Earth (Its been a while since I read about it so sorry if some details are incorrect but that was the general gist of it).

    Maybe not a conspiracy theory as such but I still like it

    The Ansett collapse was engineered by business interests (some of which were quite close to the govt of the time) which did very nicely out of taking it off the scene.

    But my real favorite is the one about a race of reptilian aliens that live underground (never worked out if that meant literally or figuratively) and control the entire modern world order and a lot of politicians and merchant bankers are in cahoots with them.

    ETA and big pharma has had a cure for cancer for at least a decade but is suppressing it because cancer is such a tidy little income earner for them.

    Ah yes, I've heard that one a number of times - I believe my version is something simple - like extreme oxygen therapy being the cure for cancer and that in itself would make big pharma very little moola.......I think I believe it.

    I quite believe people have been to the moon, but not when they said they did. The original landing was clearly fake

    Also, Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone in the assassination of JFK (if he was even involved at all). It was a government conspiracy to incite hate against Ciba and to get rid of a catholic president. Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed were also assassinated, their deaths were no accident.

    Also, aliens landed at Roswell, New Mexico. The government covered it up. They cover a lot of things up.
