Top Conspiracy Theories According to Brits

Although I got the following conspiracy theories from Sky News, I'm sure everybody has thought about some of these or ALL of these and perhaps even believes some of them or ALL of them. I'm not sure I'd consider all of them conspiracies, but this is borrowed material - only what is in parenthesis is mine.

Hope you find the theories interesting and also the photo I've chosen to accompany them. This photo has a story which needs explaining. Back before we had digital cameras, I took my camera into a shop to have the film that I thought was inside developed. When we opened the camera, it was EMPTY. 'Where's the film?' I demanded of the shop assistant. He politely answered that he didn't know. I can only imagine what he thought. Well, I found out not too long afterwards what had happened to it. I'd given a friend what I thought was a new roll of film, because, as I said, I wasn't going to use it and she was going to Washington D.C. and Canada. I have lots of perfectly double exposed photos of my family in two places like this one of three of my nephews.

One more thing: I was visitor 157,751,069 on Post Secret on Sunday, which is really my reason for posting. Now that my secret is out, on to those wild and wonderful theories.

 Some 48% of Britons believe that Area 51 exists to investigate aliens and their spaceships.  Are you a believer?  (My almost 16 year-old nephew has come up with the theory that Steve Fossett's plane was shot down over Area 51 or, at least, the idea was planted in his head by someone.
It's a possibility, isn't it? I mean that his plane was shot down over Area 51)

A massive 38% think that 9/11 was orchestrated by the US government.

And 35% believe that the Apollo landing on the Moon was a hoax.  (My brother Timmy thinks it was a hoax too)

A suspicious 32% are convinced that Diana, Princess of Wales, and Dodi Fayed were murdered.

And a perhaps paranoid 25% think the Illuminati and the Masons are trying to take over the world .  (N.B. the use of the word perhaps)

And would you believe Scientologists rule Hollywood?  Well, 17% of those who took part in the survey would.

Big Brother is watching - and 7% believe that barcodes are really intended to control people.  (I've heard other theories.  For example, to be used to identify Satan's followers)

And 6% are convinced that Microsoft sends messages via Wingdings.(Careful with those smileys!  Who knows what message you're really sending! You might be saying something like Yahoo has been taken over by Microsoft. Yea! or Oh, no! depending on who the recipient is)

Another dark theory: some 5% believe the US government allowed Pearl Harbour to happen.

And 3% think the world is run by dinosaur-like reptiles! (Reminds me of one of my favourites: 'V'. Do you remember Diana?)

The poll also revealed that 61% believe in aliens.  (Who's to say for certain that intelligent life isn't out there somewhere?  When it's been proven beyond any doubt that we're alone in this vast universe then I'll believe it.  So until then…)

And 52% think ghosts exist.  (Would you relieve me if I said I know people who say they have seen them and aliens too?)
