You make a good point.

This is substantiated by my personal experience that a good deal of conspiracy people are big believers in any conspiracy they can get their hands on. If I made up a conspiracy about No. 2 pencils that sounded feasible they'd be saying "Oh really? Ah yes! Go on! It makes perfect sense now.. why wouldn't NUMBER ONE pencils be the most common when they're NUMBER Rating: 5
