The Accidental Invention of the Illuminati Conspiracy

quote [ ... the Illuminati are the supposed overlords controlling the world’s affairs, operating secretly as they seek to establish a New World Order.
But this far-fetched paranoia all started with a playful work of fiction in the 1960s. What does this tell us about our readiness to believe what we read and hear ]

Oh Geez. In retrospect, I should have guessed it was the Discordians.

I thought those hand signs were showing support for vaginas.

Vaginas don't need supporters. It's penises and testicles that need supporters.
Oh, and breasts too.

No I didn't rylex, but my penis has continued to grow throughout my life.
It still grows to the same size though.

I found a secret technique to make my penis 6" long when erect. it's actually pretty simple really, I just fold it in half

Some say a woman's clitoris produced the universe itself. It provides the the emotional energy for the creation of the vagina, the first gate. The one through which all of us must pass. Except for c section babies. Those heathens. #NotAllBabiesAreInnocent #IHopeYouKnowI'm Joking #WhyAmIUsingHashtags

careful lest you draw attention from the Cliturati for giving away their secrets

This is exactly the type of stuff the Illuminati would want us to read.

Everyone knows it's the Rosicrucians that secretly run everything. Here, I even have a link to one of their forums:

I read the Illuminatus! Trilogy as a freshman in highschool. I loved it. I'm pretty sure that, even though it was obviously all a ridiculous wacky thrill ride adventure, after reading it I was much more interested in the convolutions of history and politics and I became a better student.

Hey, steele, would it be asking too much to upload an image from the local drive into a comment with the same, "choose file", dialog used on the post prep page? Or is the extra hosting load not worth it? I've got a great Illuminati conspiracy photo I took just a few days ago, and I'm too darned lazy to start a new image hosting account since photobucket went south.

Yeah, we don't really have the resources to be image hosting at this point. I just use imgur. Have an account but I'm not signed in half the time.
