The Retarded Truth Behind The World's 12 Greatest Mysteries

The world if full of unexplained phenomenon, and even more full of conspiracy theorists eager to feed you a mind blowing explanation involving higher cultures and time travel. But as anyone who pays attention to history (or Cracked.com) knows, the truth is often much more retarded.

We asked you to think about all the mysteries that baffle modern man--Roswell, Bigfoot, Stonehenge, Crop Circles--and use photoshop to show us the retarded explanation. The winner is below, but first, the runners up.
