"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone."

Just as an aside there was a good movie from the late seventies that dwelved into the theory of a hoax landing on Mars called 'Capricorn One'. The hoax is carried out and then the powers at be attempt to kill everyone who knew what took place. A similar premise was used 20 years later in 'Wag the Dog' using a make believe war to cover up a White House sex scandal.

But of course thats Hollywood. Surely the moon landing took place because willful suspension of disbelief/belief is easy to produce for a film's sake, but not practical enough to replicate in real life...or is it....you be the judge...

Isn't the first week back after a holiday just the worst time to be back at work...

You don't believe that Elvis is still alive?

Shame on you. I saw him only last week as I was leaving the pub.

LOL - hell no - we're a voluntary organisation!

The whipping is only part of making that delicious snack filling... there's the "creaming" as well - my personal favourite.

The only reason it comes out of that machine is to stop the kids/health department officials from being frightened...!

Of course the landing was real

. If we/they didn't land on the moon how could Pink Floyd have written "Dark side of the moon"?

Deviant - calm down and re-read my post laddy! I was taking a tongue-in-cheek swipe at the common mis-use of the word "conspiracy".
Personally, I think that the likelihood that America landed men on the moon is on a par with the likelihood that America dropped a couple of atomic bombs on Japan in 1945.
