Snopes – Answers to Rumors and Urban Legends

Monday, July 5th, 2010 (No comments yet)
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.
