"No blast crater"
"Hassleblad film would get hot/cold"
"Lunar rocks returned by robot"

 ;) ;D

All photos were perfect.
There should have been dust on the footpads.
The rocks were faked in a secret NASA lab.
You can bounce lasers of the moon anyway.
Wet sand.
Coarse sand.

How the cup runeth over with such idiocy.

Can we make "C-rock" the trump word? If it appears, it's house be default. Simply because it has to be the most absurd, ridiculous, crazed, bananas, utterly moronic theory every proposed. Others may include

Double film speed.
Astronauts on wires.
Front projection.
Waving flag.
Fall off.
Faked telemetry.

What is 'fall off'?

The C-rock is pretty amazingly freaking stupid. How about if they bring up the C-rock we get to fill in any adjacent square? This would require programming the randomized cards so the C-rock square is never on the outside, but I'm sure LO handle it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you... Apollo Hoax Bingo!

I would have liked to generate the card as an image but that's difficult to do. Maybe in the next version. In the meantime, you can just take a screenshot. When you get a Bingo upload your card as an attachment to a post.

Should we have different cards for each HB? The problem with that is they might run away before anyone can claim a Bingo. So one card for all HBs?

I can add more buzz words/phrases any time. Here is what I've got so far:


You're a government shill!
No stars in the photos
Van Allen Belt radiation
Shadows aren't parallel
Computing power of the AGC
The gubmint always lies!
If I ran the zoo...
It's just common sense...
Wet or sifted sand
In my opinion...
Open your eyes!
Wake up!
Waving flag
Uses LEM instead of LM
Astronauts would have been too hot
Astronauts would have been too cold
Astronauts look nervous during interviews
Neil Armstrong never does interviews
6 feet of lead shielding would be required
Suspicious deaths
Sheep / Sheeple
Stanley Kubrick
The 'Missing' Apollo 11 footage
Aliens
You've been brainwashed!
Citing an unnamed source
I can't do the math but I can tell just by looking at it...
Compartmentalization
The Illuminati or The Freemasons (or both)
I don't believe in a hoax but...
Photoshop
The LM should have left a blast crater on the Moon
The Apollo missions were too perfect

Traditionally, each player gets a separate card; the HBs would then essentially be the Bingo callers.

Can you add?
C-rock
Linking to Jack White's "research" that wasn't intended to make the reader facepalm. i.e. the link was intended as a serious argument for a hoax
Any use of claims made in "A funny thing happened on the way to the Moon"

How many cards can we use at a time?

Then again, we would all be winners.

That's the point. If anyone brought the C-rock argument to forum, it would be like the super word because it is the most
idiotic theory ever proposed. I have yet to see it presented here, but might be wrong. The stupid burns that much when the C-rock is mentioned it finishes the game by default, as I don't think I could take the thread seriously any more. Anyone that still believes the C-rock needs putting out of their misery.

Done. :)

I've also added:

 - Links to a YouTube video
 - Claims to be new to the hoax theory but immediately attacks JayUtah
 - Thinks ApolloHoax.net and Clavius are the same website
 - Doesn't realize 'Darkside of the Moon' was a mockumentary

I think those might be a bit too broad for one square on the grid.

As many as you would like. I think it would be funny/amazing if someone got enough squares on their cards to spell out "APOLLO HOAX".
