Top 10 Internet Hoaxes, Rumors, and Gossip Busted

Yesterday when someone posted an "article" on Facebook about the Two-Striped Telamonia Spider under the toilet seat -- a hoax which is now FIFTEEN years old -- we thought a "top 10 internet hoaxes" might be in order.

When you consider how big the world is, and that these reached us here in little Twin Falls, Rupert, etc, you know they're popular (especially when you can spread any rumor you want with a click of a button).

These hoaxes were all revealed by snopes.com, whose sole purpose is to fact-check those nasty rumors circulating around the interwebs.  We've all probably been guilty of at least believing one or two of these, if not spreading the word ourselves... but no more!
