So I'm curious as to what your favourite conspiracy theory is?

Personally regarding Bin Laden, I think if he was still alive AQ would have wasted no time parading him on tv with a copy of today's paper!

MsScarlett - he has family living in the US.

This reminds me of when they found Saddam Hussein. I used to work with a woman, who was not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and she said "It must be him and not a look-alike, as it looks just like him!"

Confused

My favourite conspiracy theory is the Paul McCartney one...

A couple of years ago there were reports that it was suspected that he had died.

When I heard this news, my first thought that it was a bluff, to make him "officially" dead, knowing that he was almost certainly dead already; the purpose being to stop his supporters claiming or believing him to still be alive.

So a guy talking on the radio is proof...?

George Orwell must be turning in his grave.

If he's so big and bad and alive all of these years, what has he been doing all of these years? 'cos surely he could have caused a lot more trouble, if he wanted.
