Wednesday Weirdness Roundup: More media lookalikes
Sadly, Ed Chiarini's bizarre "media lookalikes" theory appears to be part of a larger trend in conspiranoia. I wouldn't call it a meme, exactly. It's really more of a method.

Canada’s Top 5 Strangest Conspiracy Theories (in honour of Canada Day)
This is a tricky post because Canadians, in general, are not a paranoid people. Our conspiracizing is mostly limited to things like, "They must put extra caffeine in this Tim Horton's coffee, eh?"

Iran's Ahmedinejad: Sept. 11 attacks a 'big lie' This must be a proud day for many Truthers. When a Holocaust denier who always wears the same Wal-Mart jacket thinks you're on to something, you know you've arrived. Viva la retardement!
