I´m sure some of you have read the tongue-in-cheek "evidence" that Napoleon Bonaparte didn´t really exist, and then a lot of fake parallels to Greek mythology. On the web, nerds take this as a splendid and excellent example of how easy it is to cast doubt on well-established facts and hence promote conspiracy theory.
Yeah. In reality, the Napoleon Sun God story is shitty as fuck, and not convincing at all. Even apart from the fact that nobody today even recognizes the mythological references in the first place. Duh!
Oh, and speaking of conspiracy theory, forget about the "prophecies of St Malachy", actually a 16th century forgery, according to which the last pope will be named "Petrus Romanus". He will not, since no pope is vain enough to name himself "Petrus". And several popes had the birth name "Pietro" since the 16th century, and yet, here we are. Oh, and Francis isn´t Petrus, nor was he born Pietro, so probably not the last pope either!
What´s the point of this blog post? Nothing really, just venting on a chilly Sunday morning...
