I think that Snopes does the world a favor with its snooping of various rumors and such. I also like Skepdic.com and reading the articles whenever I am bored. The internet is such a great place to research and find out the most random things, ne?

Yes it's the first place I go when someone sends me a forward that sounds like it's an urban legend.  Every time Snopes had the info and said it was a lie then I send the forward back to the person with the link to Snopes telling them not to believe everything they read.

I use Snopes a LOT.  My in-laws fall for every one of those stupid email forwards about there being internet rapists on the loose, and anacondas in the ball pit at Burger King, or KFC not using "real" chicken.  I just copy the Snopes.com link and send it back to them--every time.

I go to Snopes every so often. I used to visit it more, but I've read up on all the urban legends and old wives tales stuff. I'm more interested in those than the more recent stories that have been circulating.

They are very acurate on what they find out. If you think something is a bit weird and you don't know what to believe then go on that site and get the real scoop.
