Everyone loves a good conspiracy theory. The moon landing was faked. Tupac is still alive. Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams — errr, forget that last one.
Unfortunately, some people take these zany and scientifically impossible theories and, well, totally believe them. Rapper B.o.B., who you might only remember from that song “Airplanes” with Hayley Williams, has taken to his Twitter account in the last 24 hours to educate the rest of us, the ignorant masses.
The cities in the background are approx. 16miles apart… where is the curve ? please explain this pic.twitter.com/YCJVBdOWX7

And then these two thought-provoking tweets about the Red Bull Space Jump.
I was on a plane the SAME time the Red Bull jump happened. The pilot told us to lookout the window.. 5 miles to the left was the balloon

We were flying at the SAME altitude as the guy who did the red bull jump… NO curve… even tho their footage shows otherwise

And then things got memey and really out of control:

B.o.B. doesn’t just subscribe to a single conspiracy theory though. He actually believes a whole host of complete and utter bullshit stories! Check these ones out:

Of course, when much more rational people tried to point out the errors in his thinking, he gave a thoroughly mature response:

if my tweets are rattling the tiny little cages of your reality … the unfollow button is right there

If you have any crackpot theories you want to get mainstream attention, tweet them to B.o.B. while he’s still on a roll. We’re sure his 2.29 million followers would love to hear all about your theories on Lizard People, alien abductions, JFK, and the Illuminati.
Don’t believe what I say, research what I say

Got it, thanks.
