Conspiracy Theories that Will Blow Your Mind

Stoneskin
Most people don't know it, but I am a bit of a Sherlock when it comes to unravelling conspiracies. I have long been puzzled (well, not really puzzled, just momentarily perplexed) by the following theories.

1) The Infinite Grape Theory

The Infinite Grape Theory states that no matter how full you are you can always eat an infinite number of grapes.

I have tested this myself, gorging on a large bunch after a roast dinner fit for The Queen. I wasn't able to prove the theory - while I could have eaten more grapes, the discomfort in my abdomen put me off.

2) The Judy Dench Theory

The Judy Dench Theory states that there is ONLY one actor/actress in this world and that is Dame Judy Dench.

I developed this theory with my pal Mokney, a sage of extraordinary wisdom (Solomon didn't come up with this did he?). The conversation went as follows.

Stoneskin: Judy Dench is in EVERY movie these days.

Mokney: I can think of a million movies that she isn't in.

Stoneskin: She's in every one, she's just a master of disguise. She plays every part.

Mokney: What, even in those martial art films where you have a billion black belts doing all their stuff?

Stoneskin: Yep, the ol' Dame is incredibly fit and eternally nubile.

You can't argue against this theory can you?

3) The Missing Sock Theory

I owe this one to Mokney, and remember it every morning as I fossick about for a matching pair of socks.

The Missing Sock Theory states that our socks go "missing" because they are stolen by moles (the small furry creatures, not the abnormal collections of pigment cells that we all know and love) and used as snug little sleeping bags.

As a literally minded individual with almost no common sense I feel that the link between these three theories is obvious, my conclusion is unavoidable and I dare you to challenge it.

The moles are after one thing and one thing alone. World domination. Oh, and a good night's sleep thanks to our socks.

In order to achieve this they have genetically engineered grapes in the hope that we will eat ourselves to death while watching movies, acted in their entirety by Judy Dench. The Dame is merely an unsuspecting puppet in all this, a distraction tactic coined by the mole strategists, whom I suspect wear driving gloves and tiny little moustaches.

Either that or I'm just a dullard who has got hold of the wrong end of the stick.

I'll let the masses decide.

    I too have attempted the grape theory. Unfortunately, I ran out of grapes, so I thought to myself...surely one could just drink grapes if fresh are currently unavailable, right? I couldn't really tell you how far I got. Don't seem to remember.

    Good job done here.

    I have my own infinite chocolate theory. ;-)

    After a long hard day fossicking about for Judy Dench movies while eating an infinite number of grapes, I do fancy a nice sock for napping.

    sure it makes perfect sense!

    Your mole theory is brilliant. This needs to go viral.

    Fossick is undoubtedly another of Stoneskin's made up words to make Americans feel dithered & faffed & faddled by his stellar command of English, just because he IS English. Well, I have to admit that I always subscribed to the same mundane theory as Maria. I felt the dyer eating a few socks as a sort of tax for its work was preferable to angering it to the point that our cats & children begin to disappear. So moles, eh? Well, I'll be rumbledethumped!

    Sock fossicking? Brilliant.

    Who wins in a bar fight of Mole vs. Hamster. Any chemist knows it's a mole. 6.022 x 10e23 times over...

    Hamsters like grapes. They may like Judy Dench as well, I've never asked one.
