ROW ONE: Perpetual motion machines(?). Yep, more specifically continuous free energy machines. Yay Youtube videos shot in the dark.
ROW TWO: Russell's Teapot (But wasn't that used to counter Pascal's wager?) More of an analogy about the burden of proof, which lies with the person asserting something without evidence. Had Russel asserted the teapot existed, it was up to him to provide the evidence to support it. He purposely set the orbit of the teapot beyond the range of our abilities to detect it making it further analogous to those who would assert something and then claim we just can't or can't yet detect it in an attempt to relieve themselves of the burden of proof. This of course makes the claim unfalsifiable and more often than not, discardable. Often someone like this will posture as if it's your job to demonstrate they are wrong, a fundie favorite.
ROW THREE: Adam & Eve...C'thulhu dreamed everything in existence(?) Yep! "Square Cube Law" Nope! Time Cube, Baby! Square Cube Law is actually a real thing first described by Galileo and is used in several fields of science.
ROW FOUR: Cargo cults(?) Kid Cthulhu nailed it. Body Thetans for everyone!
ROW FIVE: old tall-tale folklore is real. Yep! Specifically, Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox are fer reals!
Again, wasn't Russell's teapot basically doing what this big graphic (and the essay that inspired the 'FSM' concept) is doing? Yep! That's more accurate, although the FSM goes just a tad further by poking creationists in the eye with the reality of church/state separation. Allow one, you must allow all. The FSM started with a letter to the Kansas State Board of Education, thanking them for creating the opportunity to teach about the FSM's creation of the universe alongside the christian version and/or ID. Ra'men.
I actually believe or find plausible Ghosts, Dowsing, Reincarnation, Astrology & Telekinesis and accept the Five Element concept non-literally (I'm NeoPagan and all physical elements in existence can be lumped under categories of Earth, Air, Fire & Water). I guess that makes me "Full Retard", then. Or just human. We all hold some wrong beliefs on some level or another. Some of them just might be crazy. But as long as we keep them out of schools, we don't force others to live by them, and they aren't hurting you or anyone else, have at it :) ... *shrug*

Also, I caught your thanks for tipping you onto Tineye, so welx! :) You may or may not be aware, but you can also reverse image search by dragging and dropping files from "my computer" or even another tab within your browser onto the camera icon found in the text box on the Google Image Search page as long as you aren't blocking scripts. I think Bing offers that feature as well but I've never poked at it.
I only mention it as general info for everybody here as well as the fact TinEye doesn't crawl nearly as many pages as Google or Bing. It's nice to have options. Tineye, IIRC, does not crawl any pages/sites tagged as having (or potentially having as part of the content) adult material FYI. (for that, make sure you uncheck "moderate/filter results" or whatever on a Google/Bing search) But that said, it is awesome to be able to simply right click and find better versions of a sweet pic you just found once the Tineye add-on is installed.

"Many orthodox people speak as though it were the business of sceptics to disprove received dogmas rather than of dogmatists to prove them. This is, of course, a mistake. If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time." ~ Bertrand Russell
