Greatest hoax ever on mankind

I always knew Santa Claus was my grandpa.

Mom had to shut me up from spoiling the fun for my cousins.

Most kids figure it out fairly early on, and then continue to pretend just to please Mom and Dad.

I haven't seen any proof that they exist either.

So why should I believe in either option?

It's pretty amazing that you'd actually entertain the hypothesis that little grey/green people live on Mars? Good luck in the scientific circles in debating that argument. Pretty desperate to win points here on that argument alone, which isn't much of an argument to begin with.

Do you have proof Santa doesn't exist? Perhaps grandpa had to pretend to be Santa because you weren't good that year.... :hmm:

Now I admit Santa may be out of business for a while. And I take full responsibility. In my disappointment finding Hershey's Kisses like candies in my stocking this year, I decided it was my duty to report the elves for copyright infringement...... Guess it depends on if the judge buys their candy sharing argument..... :)

Actually, it is something the scientific community debates all the time. Perhaps is you were more connected to the scientific community, you would be aware of that.

BTW...Mr. Research. That is not a hypothesis. A hypothesis is something that has been tested through research.

It's not like it's going to change my entire existence if they are real. If they are real-- why did they never contacted us before?

So, it's not earth-shattering to me. If we went this far oblivious to the existence of worldly intelligent beings, I can spend the rest of my life not making a big fuss about it.

We be highly unlikely to be able to establish contact within my lifetime.

Which is completely different talking about alien life ("people" or little grey/green men) on Mars.

And I hope we don't. We wouldn't know who we would be getting. Any time a space-faring race comes to earth, you have to know that they are more advanced than we are. Especially when it comes to military strategy. They could kick our butts any time. Anybody remember V from 25 years ago?

That I'm not worried. It's the bugs they'd be carrying. Kind of like when explorers came to the new world and gave native indians Smallpox nearly wiping them out.

the extraterrestrial bugs were already here long before men were born. What you think how Earth began? :)

For Creationists - well recall that we found bugs inside the Martial rock that crashed into Australia several years ago? or was it Antarctica?
 
Anyway, the greatest hoax on earth is... Darn, I just can't get myself to say it. I'm afraid I'll get banned here and shot or put on a rendition flight to Rome...

I'm glad to say that I'm not part of the hoax.

**0ff topic** My son has a scar in the middle of his forehead where he ran into the corner of the coffee table (very, very active monkey). Anyway, about the time that show was popular, he asked why he had a "v" on his head. (Too young to remmy what happened.) I told him it was because he was an alien. He believed me, poor little guy, and I had to backtrack and tell him I was only teasing!:lol:

LOL. I do believe I know what you are referring to, but will refrain from saying it, as well.:giggle:

Meanie. :P :giggle:
 
I do have one other one, but it's not the Greatest Hoax. It's fairly close to it. The belief that paper money is real, that gold is a "barbaric relic."
