Awwh, IFOTOS! I'd almost forgotten about that one. I made a good few troll socks back in the day asking for that and the whereabouts of Duality...

Ah, this was a great one. I think I mentioned this in the chat, but if you ever want a whole boatload of crazy (I won't ask why), look no further than Reddit's /r/Conspiracy board.

By the way, I've linked to Trey's autopsy pages in the description on the front page.

Some friends and I once spent the better part of an evening reading Time Cube in its entirety. Or, we thought it was its entirety. We assumed that the bottom of the page would be the end. When we found out it wasn't, we all agreed to leave it at that and forget that we had ever dared to look.

I don't know if I'm disappointed or relieved that 9/11 wasn't brought up. That's a most outrageous CT. And the less attention those people get the better.
Fun episode, guys. And I'm convinced that Trey spends 99% of his time in front of the internet with a palm to his face. Can't even find solace in his FB feed.
Re: Intermission 011 - Conspiracy theories!
WIsh I had been on this one. I used to train with Joe Rogan quite a bit, and while I love the man, he is an absurd conspiracy theorist.

But it must be, you can buy one on Amazon.
(I bet the product naming people at that company never tried typing TimeCube into the Googles to see what might be out there already.)

Oh my god, I haven't been to TimeCube in years and it managed to get crazier.

Re: Intermission 011 - Conspiracy theories!
Just now catching up on your intermission shows. Another good job guys.
There are some "conspiracies" that i buy that i like to call "plausable deniability" conspiracies.
example:
I believe that people inside of the Bush administration had a good idea where Osama Bin Laden was, not exactally, but knew if they spent enough resources in a certain area that they would find him. These people chose not to spend those resources because they wanted to keep their boogie man to help keep up their war on terror.
There are a lot of things like this that i believe happen in national security, where things go unmentioned or just inferred because the status quo is helping out both parties involved.
I could buy a situation where, someone was told about the 911 attacks in some level of management at the CIA / Intellegence community and didnt pass the information on due to ties to the Millitary Industrial complex. I am not sure that happend but i certainly could believe it. Conspiracy by inaction.
Conspiracy by innaction, I do think happens.

Re: Intermission 011 - Conspiracy theories!
Oh, there are a few things that get labeled "conspiracies" because the people who latch onto them get insane about the topic. Take the Federal Reserve and paper money for example. You take a look at how it got started, and what was considered legal and constitutional at the time, and you start to get the feeling various needed legal steps were skipped in an effort to force thing thing through politically (as still happens nowadays). Doesn't make it "evil", or a huge conspiracy, but the wackos who write every other word in capital letters aren't wrong about everything. Robert Anton Wilson's book "Everything is Under Control: Conspiracies, Cults, and Cover-Ups" is a wonderful resource for this kind of thing. For every 100 stories that needs UFOs or mind control rays to work, there's one or two with enough actual facts to make you think for a bit.

Re: Intermission 011 - Conspiracy theories!
Ok. Just started going through the intermissions a few days ago and I got to this one. The ifotos was a nice revelation mainly because in trying to track down a list of all the DIF episodes here on this forum someone made the joke about you guys doing a commentary for it and being new here, and never being on TFN I was curious what it was and why it wasn't posted. Well played, whoever you were and everyone else that's carried on that urban legend for so long. I'm surprised it never got a wiki page ruining the whole thing though.

It was funny enough to keep as an inside joke but didn't come up often enough to be a huge thing. Your next question will be, of course, What *IS* meatball?

I am nostalgia-ing so hard over all these old TFN in jokes. I can't believe it's really been like 10 years since I started hanging out there.

And I saw Hardware Wars the year it came out, so there

Thanks for the heads up about the Skeptoid podcast, very informative. My father has recently become interested in 9/11, specifically building 7, so it was good to hear Brian Dunning's thoughts on that.
