The secretive nature of Area 51 and undoubted connection to classified aircraft research, together with reports of unusual phenomena, have led Area 51 to become a centerpiece of modern UFO and conspiracy theory folklore. Some of the unconventional activities claimed to be underway at Area 51 include:
The storage, examination, and reverse engineering of crashed alien spacecraft (including material supposedly recovered at Roswell), the study of their occupants (living and dead), and the manufacture of aircraft based on alien technology.
Meetings or joint undertakings with extraterrestrials.
The development of exotic energy weapons (for SDI applications or otherwise) or means of weather control.
Activities related to a supposed shadowy world government.

Kentucky Fried Chicken makes black men impotent
It is sometimes claimed that the Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise is owned by the Ku Klux Klan, and the chicken is laced with a drug that makes only black men impotent.
Ironically, the KFC franchise is actually owned by an African-American.

The Nazis had a Moon Base
Esoteric Hitlerists and conspiracy theorists interested in Nazi mysticism and World War II have speculated that the Germans landed on the Moon as early as 1942.
According to other theories it is believed that the Nazis had made contact with 'half a dozen' alien races, including the malevolent Reptilians.

U.S. military caused the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami
Popular Arab news services claim the U.S. and Indian militaries deliberately caused the Indian Ocean tsunamis with electromagnetic pulse technology.
Another type of theory bases its claims on oil and gas interests. Others also reason that the technology is at least feasible if not highly probable since research into such technology has been conducted by the military as far back as World War II.

Microsoft sends messages on Wingdings Font
The Wingdings Font included with Windows has a history of controversy. In 1992, only days after the release of Windows 3.1, it was discovered that the character sequence "NYC" in Wingdings was rendered as Skull and crossbones symbol, Star of David, and thumbs up gesture. This could be interpreted as a message of approval of killing Jews, especially those from New York City.
Microsoft strongly denied this was intentional, and insisted that the final arrangement of the glyphs in the font was largely random. Various other combinations of Wingings characters are alleged to have special significance by conspiracy theorists, but these results are likely purely coincidental.

Charlemagne never existed, is a fictional character
Phantom time hypothesis is a theory developed by Heribert Illig which suggests that the Early Middle Ages (614–911 CE) never occurred, meaning that all artifacts attributed to this time period were from other times, and all historical figures were outright fabrications.
One consequence of Illig's hypothesis is that Charlemagne never existed but is a fictional character. The vast majority of historians believe this theory to be complete fiction, as all cited evidence can be considered circumstantial.

Barcodes are really intended to Control people
Some conspiracy theorists have proposed that barcodes are really intended to serve as means of control by a putative world government, or that they are Satanic in intent.
Mary Stewart Relfe claims in "The New Money System 666" that barcodes secretly encode the number 666 - the Biblical "Number of the Beast".
This theory has been adopted by other fringe figures such as the "oracle" Sollog, who refuses to label any of his books with barcodes on the grounds that "any type of computer numbering systems MANDATED by any government or business is part of the PROPHECY of the BEAST controlling you."

Dinosauroid-like Alien Reptiles are dominating the World
BBC reporter David Icke claims that humanity is actually under the control of dinosauroid-like alien reptiles who must consume human blood to maintain their human appearance.
"Evidence" for his conspiracy theory goes from Sumerian tablets describing the "Anunnaki" (which he translates as "those who from heaven to earth came"), to the serpent in the Biblical Garden of Eden, to child abuse, fluoridation, and the genealogical connections between the Bush family and the House of Windsor.
Icke theorizes that the reptilians came here from the constellation Draco. Like most conspiracy theories, falsification of Icke's hypotheses is nearly impossible, but Icke continues to sell books and give speaking engagements based on concepts ranging from the New Age to his political opinions.

The biggest conspiracy theory : September 11 was fabricated
A number of urban myths, alternative hypotheses and conspiracy theories have been formulated to explain the events of September 11th:
The U.S., Israel or Iraq government orchestrated the attacks themselves.
The Twin Towers fell straight down, at close to free-fall speed. This is a similar characteristic of a controlled demolition. The dust cloud and its make up are considered un-characteristic of a gravity-driven collapse.
It is often pointed out that no steel building before or since the 9-11 attack has collapsed as the result of fire.
The rubble of the Twin Towers smoldered for weeks after the collapse. This claim is meant to point out that steel could only have smoldered as a result of pre-placed explosives.
Some consider photographic evidence of the plane lying on the grounds of the Pentagon to be ambiguous and unconvincing, citing a visual lack of burnt metal, human remains, passenger's luggage or seats.
The Pentagon was struck in a newly renovated, reinforced section. Some speculate this location, the west side of the complex, to be indicative of government involvement, noting it as an attempt to reduce casualties.
Flight 77 was able to fly in the direction of the DC and Pentagon area for approximately 40 minutes without interception. This is thought to be unusual given the Pentagon's close proximity to Andrews Air Force Base.
There are claims that anti-missile batteries at the Pentagon should have intercepted Flight 77.
The FBI confiscated a video, which may have captured the impact, from a nearby gas station attended by Jose Velasquez.

The biggest conspiracy theory : The Apollo landing on moon
A classic among conspiracy theories, proponents of the Apollo moon landing hoax accusations allege the moon landings never took place, and were faked by NASA with possible CIA support. Enthusiasts of this theory claim that:
The astronauts could not have survived the trip because of exposure to radiation
The photos were altered: the Crosshairs on some photos appear to be behind objects, rather than in front of them where they should be
The quality of the photographs is implausibly high.
There are no stars in any of the photos, and astronauts never report seeing any stars from the capsule windows.
Identical backgrounds in photos that are listed as taken miles apart.
The moon's surface during the daytime is so hot that camera film would have melted.
No blast crater appeared from the landing
The launch rocket produced no visible flame.
The flag placed on the surface by the astronauts flapped despite there being no wind on the Moon.

What is bankruptcy? Differnece between the chapters of Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy: A debtor that, upon voluntary petition or one invoked by the debtor's creditors, is judged legally insolvent. The debtor's remaining property is then administered for the creditors or is distributed among them.
Chapters:
With the proper information in regards to the new bankruptcy laws you can avoid the hassles many people have to deal with because they did not take the time to do some research. Only you can decide what is best for your debt burden with the current bankruptcy law.
Types of Bankruptcy
You may have heard of someone filing for Chapter 11 or Chapter 7. What do they mean by this?
These are actually the types of bankruptcy, so-named after the title of the Chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Act in which they appear. There are three common types of bankruptcy available. Here is a quick rundown of each one:
Chapter 7
This is also known as liquidation. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, all the assets and nonexempt properties, if any exists, of the debtor must be turned over to a trustee for the purpose of converting them into cash to pay the debtor's creditors.
In return, the debtor receives a Chapter 7 discharge in the form of a court order, releasing the debtor from all of his or her dischargeable debts. This order also has the effect of preventing creditors from attempting to collect these dischargeable debts from the debtor.
Note that there are some debts which cannot be discharged with a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Chapter 11
This type of bankruptcy is typically used for business bankruptcies and restructuring. As such, this is not an option for individual consumers. Besides being far more complex, it is also more expensive to pursue.
A Chapter 11 bankruptcy gives businesses the opportunity to reorganize themselves, restructure debt, and get out from under certain burdensome leases and contracts. "Business" here may include a corporation, sole proprietorship, or partnership.
When a corporation files for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the stockholders' personal assets are not at risk. Since a corporation exists separate and apart from its owners, the stockholders, the only asset the latter stands to lose are the value of their investment in the company's stock.
Chapter 13
This is sometimes referred to as a "mini Chapter 11" because it allows small proprietary business owners and certain qualified individuals to file for it in order to repay their creditors but still retain your property.
So how is this different from a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which likewise allows you to retain certain exempt properties and assets? Chapter 13 is different in that it enables a debtor to retain the assets that would otherwise be liquidated by a Chapter 7 trustee.
In most cases, you can keep your home and your car under either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. However, there are certain instances under Chapter where you would not be able to keep your rental properties, antique gun collections, etc. Whereas, if you file for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you may be able to keep these "luxurious items" and submit yourself to a Plan where you can make repayments.
The goal of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is to discharge your existing debts so you can get a "fresh start" on your finances. A Chapter 13, on the other hand, obliges you to repay most or all of your debts before your slate is wiped clean. It is because of this - you repay your debts - that you gain a certain advantage over a Chapter 7.
