Oh, and we all know about conspiracy theorists. What about theoretical conspiracists? These are people who meet in dark rooms to plot absurdly convoluted assassinations, cover-ups, mind-control systems and so on, but have no intention of actually putting them into practice. The faked Mars landing in Capricorn One was the most famous example - sadly, some people got a bit confused , and thought Mars was the moon and fiction was fact.

Oleana: What? The well is drier than your wit! Which is no big thing.

Spindletop: Pardon, milady, but yon rude mechanical-

Bardhal: Forsooth! I resemble that remark!

Spindletop: -Delves his best, which is none too great, alas.

Bardhal (bending down): What is this? Look, milady! A shell!

Oleana: Giv't here. (examines the shell) Most excellent, a royal Dutch shell!

Bardhal: My feet grow damp with ichor.

Spindletop: You have broken the water? At last!

Bardhal: 'Tis not water, fool, but the earth's bile itself!

Oleana: Ah, workman! Thou hast done it! Soon we will all dwell in the hills of Beverly!

............
...but honestly, it's really rather good, isn't it?

When I was growing up (60s) we had a cat named Spaughtte (spot). The cat was solid gray. My dad, the shrink, had a terminally weird sense of humor!
