speaking of conspiracies and paranoia and random BULLSHIT, anyone ever hear of this? i just read it today:
| Quote: |
"Phantom time," Charlemagne, and a 300-year memory hole.
THE CONSPIRACY THEORY: No wonder the Dark Ages were so dark—they didn't really exist. The years between 614 and 911 never happened, yet due to some suspicious mathematical manipulation, they have been included in the Western calendar. To cover up the time shift, three centuries of fictional events and nonexistent figures like Charlemagne have been squeezed into the historical record. Reset your watches: We're actually living in the early 1700s.
THE THEORISTS: The idea of "phantom time" was first proposed in 1991 by a German historian named Heribert Illig and his colleagues. They claim that unexplained gaps in the archeological and documentary record confirm their hypothesis. So how did 297 empty years suddenly appear? The prime suspect is Holy Roman Emperor Otto III, who is commonly thought to have lived around 1000. Not so, say Illig and Co.: He actually lived around 700 but wished he lived at the time of the first millennium, so with the help of Pope Sylvester II, he added 300 years to the date. To help cover his tracks, he invented a convincing story about an eighth-century Frankish emperor named Charlemagne. |

I've heard of this before... In biology we discussed this in terms of evolution, only to say "fuck it, that theory is retarded"
not evolution, but the fact that things haven't changed at all in the past xxxx amount of years.

Because between those years nothing at all happened in the rest of the world, of course.

When I made the post about my farts smelling really bad after eating chicken and rice, that was fake. They actually smelled like the Ben & Jerry's factory in Vermont.

You all need to pull your heads out of your asses. The world was created last Thursday by the Flying Spaghetti Monster. All evidence to the contrary was put there by His Noodly Appendage.

....the fuck?
I know the World follows the Christian calender, but what is their basis for this? Are they going to overlook the Chinese calender? There's so many faults here, it's just impossible to comprehend such a fuck up, especially with archelogical evidence at our grasps.

Conspiracy theories seem to be all the rage nowadays.
By the way, I never actually registered on the Sydlexia.com forums. All of my posts aren't real...

Since we're all posting bullshit in this thread, I might as well say that Final Doom is really just a Doom fangame.

You just think you're people and that there is a God. Truth is, we're all soulless meatbags acting on our primal instincts, twisted and mangled to the point where you can't recognize them anymore and you think you have free thought.
Or was it the truth? I can't remember.
I only remember the Flying Spaghetti Monster telling me to fuck with your heads for a while.
