Do Not Be Fooled
A recent BBC news post indicated an outbreak of Zombies in Cambodia. The webpage looks real enough and even sends you to authentic BBC links when clicked on. The story, however, is fake as a recent Snopes.com article reveals. These internet fakes are another reason why it is so important to check your sources from more than one place. If it looks unbelievable, it often is.A student recently asked me if I ever heard of human fetus soup eaten in Taiwan. She was certain that it was true. Now I had never heard of this foul dish but I directed her to snopes.com -- a popular urban myth-buster website. Sure enough, after a short search, she came upon this page and found out that it was false.
Do not be fooled into absurd beliefs. Check out anything that sounds too good to be true. The following sites may help.
