T-Rex: Here's my conspiracy theory du jour:
T-Rex: The 2012 London Olympics were faked!
T-Rex: They didn't actually hold the games. They just scripted it all, got thousands of actors to stage it, and filmed it all to broadcast around the world!
Utahraptor: But...
Utahraptor: Wouldn't that be more effort & cost than just hosting an actual Olympics?
T-Rex; Yes!
T-Rex: That's the genius thing! Nobody would believe it.
T-Rex: The PERFECT conspiracy, man!

London first "hosted" the Olympic Games in 1908. This was after Rome was awarded the Games, but had to cancel due to an untimely eruption of Mount Vesuvius.[1] Yeah, convenient, huh?
