Hoaxes
By baldrick2dogs •
Here's an idea - check before you post!
I see the Coca Cola myth raised its head again today and earlier there was the hoax about poison spiders in airplane toilets, that was quickly blocked by the mods as I was typing my rebuttal.
Lots of cr*p arrives in everyones mail box every day, and it only takes a few seconds to check whether it's true or not before forwarding on and scaring the bejesus out of all your mates, or looking a complete plonker!
Here's some goog links for you. Save them and use them when something you receive sounds suspect:
www.snopes.com
www.hoax-slayer.com
www.museumofhoaxes.com
www.hoaxbusters.org
And next time you get a mail saying "This was seen on CNN" - check on CNN!
Thanks for the links

You are correct stealth, that's why I reserve the right to call them #$%& when the post a hoax here :O)
Thanks, good references.

people dont have the patience to do that.
... and here's a plan. Forward this to all your mates - I'm sure they'll thank you for it :o)
