16. Ya know...
to me your question isn't so much about being "over the top" but about the difficulty in identifying what may or may not be doable, and then whether someone has actually done it; for instance, Timothy McVeigh was obsessed with the idea that the government had implanted some kind of chip into him...

Could it have happened? Sure. But did it happen, or was it simply the obsession of a guy also obsessed with conspiracies about "one-world government" who had "lost it" somewhere along the way?

Since at least the time of the Kennedy Assassination we have been awash in conspiratorial interpretations of events, some of which have left very important questions unanswered, that it becomes difficult to apply the simple "smell test" to many things.
