If you see something unbelievable online...

...go to Snopes to verify that it is indeed FALSE.

Seriously, folks.

Snopes is your FRIEND.

Snopes is fun! All sorts of ludicrous things there. Some of which are actually true! o_O

Lots were. :) I actually waited a bit before hitting snopes up for dirt to see if anyone else would. :)

As it is, the only site that I saw had the news was Yahoo, and, well, it's Yahoo! :-p

Of course, I then spent an hour reading the latest funnies on Snopes. :-p

I love Snopes. It's my proof when I'm in an argument with people who believe some of those rediculous legends.

Snopes is a fun read. :) And far too many people don't even know about it. :-p

Am I the only one who's ever considered that snopes.com might not be what it appears to be?

A feint within a feint within a feint.

Wheeee!

(yeah, yeah, i know, but I love playing the conspiracy-nut.)

Hehe. Every now and then they do put up their own little yarns that manage to fool people, but they're all on their Humor page. :-p
