Hezbollah is run by lizard people from outer space who have come to elliminate the Elders of Zion, and because zion=sion the Zionists are in cahoots with the Priory of Sion. Also, both words contain the word "ion," which is also in "orion." The lizard people come from Orion.

And more fun "truths"!

It's not fanfic, it's pastiche. Pastiche has been written by respected authors like Nicholas Meyer and Jo Soares. Fanfic is really only fanfic if its based on something not in the public domain. (I also tend to call the things posted on FFN fanfic. I mean, they are posted on fanfiction.net.) If not, it's technically pastiche.
