        Ziggy, you could sell it for quite a bit on ebay :dbgrtmb:

        Asteroid Rocks!!!

        Appeared suddenly.

        Thought to be genuine.

        Low price for quick sale as area is needed for spring planting.

          A couple of years ago I went to a talk given by one of the Americans that landed on the moon. We, in the audience, were told beforehand not to ask any questions about conspiracy theories etc, apparently it's a very touchy subject with them (understatement!).

          Just imagine if you had really gone to the moon, through all those years of training and preparation plus the massive risks, then to come back to earth expecting to be a hero, instead people accuse you of being in a hollywood set. No wonder they are all half mad or total recluses :D

          Apart from the pics, the only proof I have of going to Turkey is that there are now a group of locals who use the greeting "Friends in Space":heehee:

          Don't know who would have taught them that:fingerdrum:

          I'll admit to believing that conspiracies happen. I just don't think every major event from history was a conspiracy, which is what some of the more hardcore theorists seem to believe.

          I believe, for example, that our dependence on fossil fuel is, in this day and age, completely unnecessary. I find it impossible to believe that with all the scientific achievements of the last few decades, we can't simultaneously significantly reduce our fuel requirements, and change the sources of our fuel to something entirely sustainable. I do however find it very easy to believe that the decision makes in companies like Shell, Total and BP probably don't want to rock the boat so close to their retirement by ordering that X% of their profit gets reinvested into sustainable energy research, and given that tax revenues, pension funds and all manner of financial products are dependent on the prices of stocks and shares, neither governments nor banks would want to change the status quo.

            There is one huge reason why the moon landings HAD to be genuine, the USSR. It was the height of the Cold War, America was upset (putting it mildly ) that Russia were the first to get a man into space so they had to go further. That is, land on the Moon. Had it been a hoax it would soon have been debunked by the Russians who were also tracking the project every step of the way.:thumbsup:

              You've all missed the basic truth.

              There is no satellite Moon made of rock. It's all a conspiracy. It's actually just a big ball of cheese floating around up there. And the cheese manufacturers don't want us to know that, as it'll depress the market for cheese for a century or more! :)

              Remember that you heard it on Gardeners' Corner first, that the Moon is really just a big lump of cheese. Whether it's Camembert or Caerphilly, I really don't know. We'll have to send an expedition to find out. :D

                  Sorry to digress ever so slightly, but you've just reminded me of something that happened a few years ago.

                  Remember all the media coverage about a probe being sent to the moon to deliberate crash land into it, thus sending up all the debris that could be remotely analyses for water? Well round about the same time, there was a partial lunar eclipse. The wife and I were driving along at the time, and saw the moon with a big chunk missing out of it. My wife is lovely, but slightly challenged in the intellect department. She asked why the moon looked wrong. I reminded her of the news article about the probe being sent to plough into it, smashing it up (I neglected to mention the lunar eclipse). She thought about this for a few seconds before her angry outburst of "why did they go and do that? I like the moon!".:loll:

                    Your wife is a supporter of Kindred Spirit's theory that the moon is made of cheese, Clueless, which is why the probe managed to knock a hole in it. KS's theory has probably more sense to it than the other conspiracies:heehee:

                    I have to grin when you got told you "didn't understand" the video after you viewed it and then said you didn't agree with dim's interpretation of it.:heehee: You're not allowed the privilege of be able to disagree............because for "some" reason you were'nt able to understand.:DOH::DOH::DOH::D
