The facts have never stopped Internet ridiculousness before.

Is Katy Perry Really Jon-Benet Ramsey? (Spoiler Alert: No.)

A guy named Dave Johnson swears up and down that the Ramsey family staged the whole thing and then went on to live new lives as the Perry family. He cites Katy Perry’s eyebrows as proof. "You know, the eyebrows don't change much on a person," he claims. "You're born with your eyebrows.”
