I've got a good friend of mine who subscribes (YouTube verbiage incredibly appropriate) to the "Hollow Earth Theory".

When we debated the truth of this, I ventured a guess that I could give at least 17 different reasons why we know that the Earth isn't hollow, but it didn't matter. I expounded upon several and was met with disbelief.

People want to believe in conspiracy... it's exciting. A lot just have no idea what "plausible" encompasses.
