Time Waster Tuesdays - dispelling rumors and urban legends.

Whoa, looks like I accidentally hit save instead publish on this post.  Sorry for the delay guys!

This weeks time waster is a way to dispell rumors, scams, things of that sort.  You know those “too amazing to be true” articles and forwarded emails that we get?  Well, here is a way to find out if they really are true!

Here is a great example of what I’m talking about.  A few days ago a friend of mind, zmann, sent me this forum post about a mule that kills a mountain lion.  Its a fantastic story, with pictures, I really wanted to believe it was true, but looked it up.  When I looked it up, this is what I found.  Apparently, the pictures are real but the story has been tweaked a bit.  Oh well, maybe next time it will be a real story.

Here is where you can go to look up the internet folklore you want to investigate:  Snopes.com

Sorry to burst your urban legend bubbles.
