Myths and the like

Already this year you guys have brought up a lot of things that you have heard about and have wanted to either know if it is true or have stated as if it was a fact. I think that since there is so much information comming at us from all over the place that sometimes we can confuse fiction as fact.

A really cool place to check out some urban legends is: http://www.snopes.com/. This site has info on current rumors such as "Ben Savage death hoax", September 11th info, or that John Hanson was the first president of the US. It's a pretty neat site--check it out and report back on any urban legends that you think are especially interesting (I like the cyclops kitten, myself!).

Thanks, Andrew for being my first commenter!!! Did you look at any of the myths on the site? Some of them are pretty funny.

Enjoy your extra credit and pass along to your posse about how fun it is to post here! (Seriously, tell them because I feel like I'm talking to myself here!)
