Who would have thought that the east coast would have both an earthquake and a hurricane with moderate damage potential all within a week or two of one another. I am no earthquake or hurricane expert, but this doesn't seem like something that happens very often if ever.

I would be willing to bet that the conspiracy theory websites are lit up right now. And, likely some of them end of the world religious fanatics and websites. Any time something happens they got some crazy idea, story, prediction, or prophecy to let us know about.

I am not into all the conspiracy and end of the world stuff. I've heard it some many times in the past few years that it doesn't even remotely appeal to me. Occasionally I do find some of the threads and comments entertaining though. There are a lot more crazy people out there than I thought.

I am just hoping that this latest hurricane Irene doesn't cause too much damage. We already have financial issues in this country we really don't need anymore. And, then there is talk in the news that the hurricane might cause gas prices to rise. Oh great, just what we need. Give the big oil companies a reason to raise the price of gas and they will.

Be safe!

A news story that recently caught my attention was about this guy that says he has found some kind of base on Mars. Apparently he found it using Google Mars and has uploaded a brief youtube video showing his find.

He says it is 750 feet by 150 feet and cylinder shaped. He also says it appears to be in good shape and well maintained. Which, after watching his video I personally find it difficult to judge as the quality and resolution is not the greatest when he zooms in on the thing.

I am not sure how he comes up with or concludes that the thing is 750 feet by 150 feet. As he rotates around it does kind of appear cylinder shaped.

The guy suggests that it might be a base and speculates how it got there, but wisely doesn't say for sure. He says here is what I found, this is where it is located, check it out and see what you make of it.

I would expect the conspiracy sites have already picked up on this story and I can only imagine what they are saying it is or how it got there.

Personally I think it is just too blurry and not detailed enough to make anything out of it.

I have an occasional interest in reading up on conspiracy theories from time to time. Last night I was doing a little research and browsing and I swear there are 1001 conspiracy theories out there.

Well I don't know the exact number, but there were more than I can remember right offhand. Anything and everything you could possibly imagine, and believe me I can imagine a lot. Some conspiracy theories are so far fetched and hard to believe I don't even know how they came to be to begin with. The power of the internet I guess might have something to do with.

Others are kind of iffy. I could go either way on them. They are hard to believe with little or no credible evidence. Mostly hear say, someones own thoughts and beliefs in a lot of cases.

A very small percentage have ever sparked my interest and that have the potential to be true or likely. I won't get into that too much as I am fairly skeptical about most of them.



One thing for sure some people really get into the conspiracy that they believe in. I mean they really take it to the extreme sometimes. I've seen maps, diagrams, charts, videos, and everything in between. Talk about a lot of work. However, most of them are missing any credible source and information why we should believe it. I am not saying it is totally untrue, but some credible evidence, proof, and/or person of high statue would be very helpful.

Then there is the whole world of people that take and edit pictures to fake something. Others original work is sometimes discredited and circulated as a hoax by someone. All this digital technology we have these days make things even more difficult to prove anything remotely realistic sometimes.

At any rate I didn't realize there were that many conspiracy theories out there.
