There are few things that simply explain the one thing Christians can all agree upon, and at the same time try to address how difficult the rest of the world makes it by refusing it even just consider the actual message instead of getting wrapped up in the side issues. YouTube to the rescue [...]

There’s an email forward that’s been circulating since at least 2003 that lists loads of statistical data about various accomplishments in Iraq now that Coalition forces have been present. I doubted that I could find verifications for all of the individual stats listed, and Snopes doesn’t bother to go that far either. One post [...]

This link takes you to a HTML form that you can write a message e-card style, and the submit button takes you to a semi-dramatic flash animation of a penguin sliding down a mountain writing out your message. Not knowing what it was for, I tested it out with that message (sfw, has music).

Yes, I’m going through a backlog of forwards I never got around to reading. There are a few in particular that really bring up a few issues with me, so I figured I’d put in my two cents.

Possibly titled, “She Really Was A Traitor”, this particular forward warns that Jane Fonda is about to be honored as one of the 100 Greatest Women. There are a number of major red flags that pop up that just shoot down the credibility of this supposedly truth-telling forward.
(a) She will not soon be given the [...]

This is yet another step in the clever concept of using Snopes itself as a basis for proof, but even still preys on the fact that (a) people are not going to click on the Snopes link to investigate, or (b) will click on the link and read that it is “real” but not read [...]

Being typically skeptical of most things I see, even stuff in general, I had to do a little investigation into a forward I got about a few pictures of a polar bear playing with a sled dog.
First I searched for the forward title, but that brought up way too many duplicated entries just posting the [...]

My grandfather frequently sends me email forwards that are in crazed hysterics about some virus warning or unresearched heresy. The latest issue is over the gold-colored dollar coins that purportedly no longer bear the words “In God We Trust”. The email included pictures as proof that the coins do not in fact bear [...]
