This site has been posted here before, but it's been a few years, and for those of you who have never seen it --
Forget /b/. Forget Reddit. Forget anything you've seen on Bungie.net. It's all amateur hour.
THIS is a group of trolls that have done it right. Proof:
1) Clever premise and even cleverer dismissals of definitive proof to the contrary.
2) Unbelievable amounts of rage on their forums.
3) Coming up on 8 years going strong, and never admitting that they're trolling.
4) They actually occasionally get people to nod their heads and say "yeah, I believe you're right."
5) Attention from national media, scientists, and even astronauts, on and off, for years.
6) Hilarious for people who realize it's a troll, but we still KINDA wonder if they're serious.
7) Maddeningly frustrating for those who don't realize it.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is how you do it. Take notes.

When trolls and true believers, in one crowd you find, don't try to find a difference in the contents of their mind. Trolls are what we can call them, if we will think they be mad, but I really don't know for certain if that's where the truth will be had. For in them we see our reflection, and fear for our minds going numb. But perhaps we should think for a second some people are really that dumb.
