In fact, there's a conspiracy to create conspiracy theories -- yeah, that's the ticket. These theories are believed by people who want to consider themselves superior by labelling others as nerds and geeks. Which people? Those nerds and geeks over there. Furthermore, the real purpose behind the conspiracy theories is to foster an atmosphere of paranoia, and you better take the Conspiracy Conspiracy seriously because all those paranoid people are out to get you. I'm afraid the "Professor" missed April 1 by a couple days.
