Believe in them or not, conspiracy theories are fun. If you believe in them, they’re fun because you can imagine that you are part of an insightful few who are clear-eyed enough to see through the propaganda to the hard truth. Like Fox Mulder, only more likely to have donated heavily to Ron Paul whilst in your underwear. If you are a skeptic, they’re fun because you can rejoice in being a skeptic.
In that vein, waste some of your Friday afternoon with wikipedia’s page listing conspiracy theories. (I know several people who would blow a gasket over the notion that Peak Oil is itself a Big Oil Conspiracy.)
