Elvis isn't dead, Shakespeare never lived, and human-like reptiles secretly rule the world.

It's not clear exactly what/when the numbers mean, but more people ask Google about the area 51 conspiracy than the Apollo conspiracy.

I'm surprised that the "New World Order" Conspiracy isn't on that list, I'd figure that it'd have at least 200,000 hits.

Remember when Micheal J Fox's character started to disappear in Back to the Future?

Maybe everybody is doing that particular search on Yahoo.
