Snopes. Finally answers to those rumors that people argue over all the time

If you're as sick of being taken by stories that later turn out to be hoaxes as I am, you find a site like this very refreshing. Snopes studies the common beliefs and urban legends and backs them up with evidence one way or another.

For example: the conspiracy theory about there not really being a plane having hit the Pentagon on 9/11, the one about Obama not being American, and the one that claimed schools were going to stop teaching the Holocaust.
