Anybody else checking out "Tinfoil Tuesday" over at Wired.com?
It's a weekly feature of stories that should have come from the Onion; but, somebody really believes. "Tinfoil Tuesday" was one of the sources for the Obama teleported to Mars story that's already been posted here. This was to be the first of the Tinfoil Tuesday features leading up to the 2012 Mayan Apocalypse:
Perhaps this all sounds fantastical, absurd, and more than a little nuts. We couldnt agree more. Thats one of the reasons we love conspiracy theories the more awesomely insane, the better. Each week during 2012, when the Mayans tell us to expect the apocalypse, Danger Room will peel back a new layer of crazy to expose those oh-so-cleverly hidden machinations powering this doomed plane of existence. Welcome back to Tinfoil Tuesday.
The more recent ones are priceless; check out:
Iran's Flying Saucer Downed U.S. Drone, Engineer Claims.
This guy's claims are really off the wall:
Keshe claims that the drone looks as smooth and clean as it does in Irans propaganda photos because his force fields intercepted the RQ-170, like a tractor beam would, and deposited it gently to Iranian soil. As summarized by Pure Energy Systems News, Keshes technology, part of an Iranian [flying] saucer program, harnesses a fusion reaction that manipulates dark matter, regular matter, and antimatter.
There was a great line in the Pentagon's response:
We have no comment on this individuals claims, George Little, the Pentagons chief spokesman, tells Danger Room, but tell him the Secretary would like his lightsaber back.
Tinfoil Tuesday could make waiting for the apocalypse fun!
