moving a bit away from conspiracy theory but I figure crack-pot ideas count too.

I reckon this is still in conspiracy land. The Vril Society are said to be connected to the race of superbeings who live inside the Hollow Earth waiting to come out and dominate us.
Hitler (Vril Society member or something) sent caving missions all over the shop in an effort to find entry into the hollow earth.

No - really - he did do that.

Nutjob he was.

The drink "bovril" is bouef+vril.

My fave is that 911 is an occult mega ritual and Bush is the offspring of Aleister Crowley.

California mob boss Jack Dragna and "The Grimace"

Coincidence... or conspiracy?

I'm a big fan of all the Bohemian Grove speculation--that a hundred or so world leaders congregate in this area near San Francisco annually to plan out all significant political events for the following year. Supposedly one day out of the year, there is always a helicopter circling the grounds and an impenetrable group of guards standing watch outside the meeting area, and most who know about it know that there is a political meeting of some nature going on inside.

And then there are those who insist that the Holocaust was a hoax. Lots of books on that.

I think the craziest I read was that there's a organization of rich, black cultural figures known as The Dark Crusaders (includes Oprah, Bill Cosby, Al Sharpton). and that they muscled Dave Chappelle into ending the Chappelle Show.

I'd completely forgotten about that. That's a good one!

My favorite one is that George Bush Sr. had Bob Marley killed because he was worried that he would influence black youth in America to rise up against the man.

The proof for this theory?

George Bush drives a B.M.W. (Bob Marley and the Wailers!)

I'm not sure what conspiracy theory is my favorite, but I'm pretty sure it isn't true and that I'm complicit.
