Wow, for 11:15 at night, there sure are a LOT of people up with their lights on!!!

Why do people take time to make up these ridiculously preposterous hoaxes?

I don’t know, but it’s giving us something interesting to discuss every week on the ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’ – a runaway smash hit here on this blog. This series was on the verge of cancellation about a month ago, and then suddenly it became my most-read weekly series !

Well, all you have to do is copy and paste the emails Mom sends us, and you’ll have a highly watched, ongoing series.

She sends us a new hoax every other day warning us of various crazy made up things!
