WikiDumper

WikiDumper is a blog that collects the best Wikipedia entries that are on the verge of being deleted from Wikipedia, typically because the topics are obscure or pointless (such as a list of animal sounds).

The blog is worth following if only for highlighting the bizarre corners of human thought. For example, if I hadn’t been reading WikiDumper, I’d have probably never heard about 9/11 uber-conspiracy theory, the Hologram Theory.

The Hologram Theory claims,

…that south tower (WTC2) was not hit by a large Boeing 767-200 (flight UA175) but by a USAF cruise missile or drone with a large holographic cloak around it that made it look like a flight UA175, i.e. a flying deception.

The proponents of the theory go to great lengths to imagine some secret, as-yet-unknown holographic technology that could accomplish this, though if it really were a missile camouflaged by holography, I’m betting its the fault of our reptilian alien overlords.

The amusing thing is that more “respectable” conspiracy theorists are upset that “fringe” conspiracy theories like the Hologram Theory make the run-of-the-mill Bush/The Jews/Trilateral Commission/Fill-In-The-Blank conspiracies look even nuttier than normal.
