*sigh*..well, the internet/WWW has provided an unprecedented amount of information to settle these things....unfortunately, that comes with a cost, as total kooks can now yammer about their pet theories and paranoid suspicions in amazing, illustrated detail...which leaves the average curious seekers after knowlege inundated with more conflicting ideas than most of them can easily digest.

There ARE a few sites like Snopes that specialize in sorting out the wheat from the chaff, but making sure that the most reputable info is easily found is not easy.
