That's one better than I did. But I misunderstood the question in one case. I realised I can't tell you which or I'll spoil it for you. I started off well and then got careless.

That happened to me on one of the questions, too... wonder if it was the same one!

I got 8 right. But it was kind of a question of plausibility, or likelihood of someone hoaxing a particular subject.

I must be more cynical than the rest of you; I got 9/10.

No... it was a different one that got me. I was coming from the angle of not believing in a certain thing, and so therefore it couldn't possibly have shown in the picture.

I got 9. But I've spent a lot of time at Snopes, and I have a friend who constantly sends me crap like that. I've seen most of those.

i scored 8 out of 10. most of them were a little too unbelievable.
plus, i hang around with norman and the boys, so i have a feel for when
my chain is being yanked.

Proud to say, I got the chicken head right! Predisposed to distrust McD's though. Also, there's a certain amount of stats involved--2 have been hoaxes, this one is probably not...

(oh. shoot...I be we have a franchise holder on the board somewhere who now hates me...

I only got 5 right. I guess I'm an equal opportunity sceptic.
