six hoaxes exposed? i expected something a little longer. a link to cracked? please elaborate, starting by listing 6 hoaxes, and then countering them with contradictory facts, therein exposing them as hoaxes.
they touch on a lot more than 6 things in that article, but nothing of substance, and it's an article from cracked that sounds like it was written by a 13yr old, calling things 'retarded' and not backing up all his claims with solid evidence.
cracked is not journalism, and neither is simply posting a link to someone else's writing and research unless you have something new to add to it.
