I finally watched the last S1 episode of The Walking Dead last week…..what do you think the Dr. whispered to the dude? It has to be that his wife is pregnant, right?

It probably comes down to parsing phrases
like Joey isn’t being “shopped” but Walt will “listen to offers” on anyone.
"Prince Fielder is too fat even for the Oakland A’s" - Billy Beane
doesn't sound like parsing to me
"I’m tired of talking about it," he said. "We’re not shopping him. We’re not entertaining offers. It’s frustrating. He’s one of the best players in the game. Why would we trade him? I wish people would stop writing about it."
(Though actually, I’d be surprised if he didn’t “entertain offers.” Doesn’t hurt to listen, right?)
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
There's entertaining offers,
and then there’s dimming the lights and putting on the Marvin Gaye after realizing the offers have had a few glasses of champagne. I think he’s doing the former.

That's one theory
Apropos of nothing:
Years ago, I had an Intro to Economics class, in which one week the professor was discussing the World Bank. After describing their basic function, he stated (and I will never forget these words):
“You know, there is a theory that the World Bank killed President Kennedy. I’m not saying it happened, but it is a theory.”

He also had some obsession with FDR trying to control the milk industry during the Depression
I don’t remember the details, but it was pretty convoluted. There were, of course, price controls on milk (and other products) during the Depression, to try to halt deflation and keep farmers in business, but for some reason this guy was fixated on milk and some conspiracy to weaken our bones or some fool thing.

As conspiracy theories go, it is a pretty mild one
It does not involve any malicious intent. I mean, assuming the passengers were unable to do what they did, shooting the plane down would be, on balance, a reasonable thing to do (horrible as it is)

I'm thinking it was pheasant, but don't remember.
I know of some hunting clubs that will release farm raised birds, but they don’t disorient them.
Which by some standards is seen as less humane. Where I live there isn’t adequate habitat for pheasant, so if they aren’t killed they are usually eaten by coyotes or something else.

I had to look it up
In the series finale, ALF is about to be rescued by other survivors of his home planet, but is instead captured by the U.S. military, and the viewer is left to ponder ALF’s ultimate fate.5 This was apparently not supposed to be the finale, as the original airing ended with the words “To Be Continued” on the screen. The producers supposedly had a verbal agreement with NBC to produce at least one more episode to resolve the cliffhanger. NBC never made good on the deal, and the series was canceled. However, the story was concluded in the TV movie Project ALF.
They made an ALF movie?
Holy Crap
“ALF sneaks outside and contacts one of his former guards in an attempt to arrange a supply drop, before mistakenly entering a Strip Club assuming from its name that it is an eating establishment that serves cats.”

many things happened besides the war in Iraq. Three thousand dead is absolutely trivial. Not to me, but in the grand scale of things and certainly to decision makers. People will die in Iraq for thousands of years from just that one war. People die all the time in Laos from ‘Nam bombs that were dumped there and nobody gives a damn. People die in local jails and prisons from negligence or corruption, people die from medicines that they shouldn’t be taking that are being jammed on the public. I mean the list is endless. Believe or not, but I can tell you that the 3,000 dead isn’t much of an argument.

Most conspiracy theories are not even close to the truth
9/11 wasn’t an inside job.
We landed on the moon.
Only one shooter killed JFK (although I’ll allow that he didn’t act compltely alone in planning it)
Area 51 is a military test site, no aliens.
Dayman, Fighter of the Nightman, Champion of the Sun
The only one I still can't believe is the JFK.
His head snapped in two different direction. The first bullet was a clean hit (accurate to the type of weapon that Oswald was using. The gun was actually barred from the Italian army because it’s shot was too clean). The second shot that hit his head (which I feel was from a different trajectory) damn near blew the top of his skull off. The transport of Kennedy’s body and the covered up autopsy were incredibly sketchy. Read the testimony of the Dallas doctors that declared him dead, and then read the autopsy report.
My theory is the Military Industrial Complex. Kennedy was going to pull the advisors out of Vietnam. No Vietnam War = a lot of money out of a lot of people’s pockets.

The History Channel had a show a few years ago..
…where a guy almost exactly replicated the shots and wounds created by Oswald. The fact many people seem to forget is that Oswald was a sniper. The shots for him were not impossible in the least.
Dayman, Fighter of the Nightman, Champion of the Sun
I'm not saying he couldn't do it.
I’m questioning bullet trajectory and power. I’ve actually shot the gun Oswald used. The ammo was super expensive, but it was pretty cool. It shot through a milk jug, a straight hole, it was incredibly clean.
Regardless, if Oswald did do it, it does not account for the cover ups after Kennedy’s body left the hospital.

I agree about the rest of the stuff
There was other shit going on both before and after, I just believe that the actual shots were Oswald alone.

I believe him when he said he was a patsy.
At that point he had no reason to lie.

the car was moving. Turning. So it appeared the shots were coming from different angles, when in reality, it was the targets that were moving.

Was Kennedy really looking to pull advisors out of Vietnam?
It’s been a while since I’ve read anything about it, but I thought he and his brother were big time hawks and eager to flex their muscles after the Bay of Pigs.
Kennedy was planning to pull them out.
This was against the advice of his brother, McNamara, and Rusk. Johnson had absolutely no idea, but Johnson didn’t know anything about Vietnam until he was sworn in. Then he was just McNamara’s puppet.
The sad thing is Kennedy was even in the dark. In his attempt to try and convince Kennedy to seek authorization for military action, McNamara told Kennedy several lies. Kennedy was always in the belief that Vietnam was a very winnable war, he just didn’t want to commit U.S. troops to the cause. I’m not a Kennedy fan at all, but he was right in that regard.

I think
the 9/11 and moon landing conspiracy theories both stem from the fact that we aren’t accustomed to those situations, so it looks unnatural to us. Sometimes, you can’t trust your instincts.
A lot of the “problems” with NASA’s video from the moon are actually not problems at all; we just aren’t used to how things look with low gravity and no atmosphere, so they look “fake.”
Similarly, most of us don’t see buildings collapsing regularly. In fact, skyscrapers like the WTC that fail will “pancake” – collapse (more or less) in on themselves, and not fall over like a tree being cut down. But it’s not a situation most of us are familiar with, so it looks weird.
In real life, I am a civil engineer, and trust me, there’s no conspiracy among civil engineers to hide the truth. It’s not even a blip on the radar.
However, I do sometimes wonder if we civil engineers gave OBL the idea for the 9/11 attack. The first attack was the truck bomb in the basement. That failed, because that’s the strongest part of the building. It’s designed to support the 100+ floors above. The weakest part of a skyscraper is the top. Because it has to support less weight (and overbuilding it will mean more weight for the lower floors to support). You can still see this discussion in old civil engineering publications, Usenet posts, etc., and I wonder if OBL saw it, too. According to some reports, he was a civil engineer himself.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
During 9/11 I had some kids in class that were spouting some of the theories.
I turned on the projector, found some video, and showed it frame by frame. Their opinions changed dramatically when they could see the tops of the towers topple where the planes had hit, then fall in on itself. When people actually slow down film and look at it, they see what is really there.
What I really never understood is why they never released the surveillance videos that captured the Pentagon attack. The FBI came in and took the tapes from the businesses.

A funny consequence of the internet maybe? but most of the world apparently doesn't believe we landed on the moon.
I was listening to This American Life last weekend and a guy who was jailed in China for 8 months spent time with Afganis, Indians, Chinese, people from all over the world, and they all seemed sure that we didn’t make it to the moon. He didn’t explain why they thought this, or maybe I missed it, but my only reasoning was all the conspiracy theories that come up when you GIS Moon Landing. Anyway, kind of funny how our credibility is eroding around the world because of these subversive conspiracies. They’ve really taken hold. It’s like if you told me the Yankees players all give portions of their paychecks to the Free Masons, I’d totally believe it.
