I received an email yesterday suggesting something which didn't look right. You know the ones, emails of urban legends. Sure enough, a quick check of Snopes.com revealed the truth. So while I was there I had a look around to check some recent legends, some true, some false, some undecided...
- Photographs purportedly show a snake trapped by an electrified fence.
- Farmer expresses dissatisfaction with crop prices by carving a message in his grain field.
- The computer virus warning hoax that keeps on giving.
- An outdated item about Mars' passing close to Earth in August
- Photograph shows golfers fleeing from the approach of a grizzly bear.
- Former Colorado governor Richard Lamm's speech on the perils of multiculturalism.
- President Bush has the lowest IQ of all presidents of past
50 years. - In fact, G.W. Bush gets his own page full of urban legends
- And then there's the 25 Hottest Urban Legends
You get the picture, there's thousands of urban legends. It's Friday, the boss won't mind, go seek the truth.
