Күн бұрын

Hoaxes, hoaxes, and more hoaxes that people actually believed.
Weird hoaxes, unbelievable hoaxes, and strange hoaxes that you won't believe anyone bought.
The List Show is a weekly show hosted by John Green, where knowledge junkies get their fix of trivia-tastic information. This week, John looks at some of history's greatest hoaxes including "Balloon Boy" (the boy, by the way is now in a metal band), "Lonelygirl15" and "War of the Worlds" (you didn't think we could do an episode on hoaxes and NOT include it, did you?).

Sleep deprivation is causing me to hear "menopause" each time John says "mental floss". I'm also not too sure I'd hear any differently if I weren't sleep deprived.

This is yes! Your commentary on Lonelygirl15 was awesome! Get this, I never knew until right now what that was even about. My shallow allegiance to, "That looks like it's probably very annoying based on the people who won't shut up about it" kept me from saying, "If this is real, why aren't all of you calling the police to help?" Boom. Is it worth it to watch this now, knowing that it is purely fictional, for entertainment? Your KZbin videos are watched with more excitement and allegiance than anything we watch on Netflix! Thank you, and keep up the excellent work!

Guero Loco Except that was a VERY small number of priests. The reason it got such wide coverage was because of the contrast between the supposedly pure, chaste priests and the heinous crime of child molestation, as well as the Church's tendency to protect their own, particularly from accusations that MAY just be an attempt to gain notoriety (but no, I'm not saying they were) I'd venture to say that a similar or even greater percentage of people in other occupations could be found to be Child molesters, but they won't create the press that a priest would. Not even teachers and coaches, which causes press for the SCHOOL and for that specific teacher / coach, but not for ALL TEACHERS or ALL COACHES everywhere.

Vertikarl I'm sorry, but you believe that crap?!? Maybe you're not American. He's a tyrannical douche-bag who could care less about the rights of people....unless of course it makes for good international press.

Saurav Pandey I don't think it I know it, along with many other Americans. I would ask you and others to do your own research and enlighten yourselves. I had to....why do we live in a time when everyone wants everyone else to do the research for them?

TheSkyHadAWeegee i said i never claimed to be better than everyone else. everyone isn't religious. religious people on the other hand, most of them aren't super bad. Actually the thing i like about religion is that many people need it to guide them in life. i'm not one of them. i just find the idea of a man walking on water, turning water into wine or another man riding on a flying donkey into the heavens ridiculous and crazy. That's just what i believe and i've never witnessed it and just because a book claims that it happened doesn't convince me. and its many religious people who feel as if just because you aren't part of a religion you have no morals or are satanic which in reality morals comes from your brain and studying what certain acts are positive and how it affects society. You don't need a book to tell you that.

To be fair about the 1904 Olympics, it was a huge clusterfuck of a very poorly planned marathon and even was part of an experiment to prove that runners didn't need things like WATER to finish. Jon Bois has a good video talking about it. It's... scary. I too would have said "fuck it" and just got in a car

The fairy girls were actually Cicely M. Barker and Dulcie. Cicely M. Barker went on to make pretty awesome art of fairies. The two girl's stories have been made into a children's book trilogy, beginning with Fairyopolis. (I own all of them.)
