kroeger and cary abrams have an article in the local east village analyzing the great banana smoking hoax of 1967 in which a rumor spread alleging that you could get high by smoking bananas or rather get high by smoking bananadine created by scraping the inside of a banana peel boiling the residue then drying out the residue and rolling it into a joint they try to get to the bottom of who started the rumor one contender is the staff of the east village other magazine another theory has the singer donovan as the instigator through his song mellow yellow or perhaps it was the singer country joe kroeger and abrams think country joe is the most likely original source of the rumor though they concede that the great banana smoking hoax has many mothers whoever started the rumor it eventually had the great effect of inspiring the federal government to study bananas to determine any psychedelic properties they might have just in case bananas might have to be added to the list of controlled substances categories food health medicine urban legends posted by alex on thu feb 23 2012 comments 0 clayton sotos fartographer someone has gone to a bunch of trouble to make it seem as if dell produced an ad featuring visual innovator clayton sotos the ad has high production values and there s an accompanying website showcasing some of sotos s work the joke is that sotos photographs people farting dell insists they re not responsible for the ad they posted this statement on their twitter page this video is in no way affiliated with dell but it s great to see creative professionals get inspiration from using our products our dell com takeyourownpath program is all about celebrating people who take their own professional path regarding this parody we consider imitation to be the sincerest form of flattery gizmodo claims that music and media producer christian heuer is behind the mock ad links gizmodo com money msn co nz categories gross photos videos websites posted by alex on thu feb 23 2012 comments 0 strange metal boxes washing up on beaches in the past two weeks various blogs have been reporting that strange metal boxes have been washing up on beaches in oregon washington and northern california in some versions of the reports these boxes make humming and screeching noises are seamless and can t be moved even by trucks the boxes are said to have appeared after ufo sightings theories about what these boxes may be besides the theory that they re the lost luggage of ufos include the speculation that they re the floats that were once used to support docks or that they re left by drug runners however reports are now coming in that people have gone searching for these boxes to examine them for themselves but haven t been able to find anything and it looks like the entire strange metal boxes story traces back to two articles posted by a dave masko perhaps the boxes only existed in his imagination categories extraterrestrial life paranormal posted by alex on wed feb 22 2012 comments 0 woman turns into snake rumor social networking sites in nigeria have been ablaze with the rumor that a woman turned into a snake at the hotel excel in warri the proprietor of the hotel chief moses odeh has been doing everything he can to put out the rumor but once these stories get started they acquire a life of their own informationnigeria org african rumors still have true strangeness to them here in america the majority of twitter and facebook rumors are fake reports of celebrity deaths which get boring after a while it d be kind of refreshing to see a rumor claim that madonna or lady gaga didn t die but instead turned into a snake categories animals paranormal urban legends posted by alex on tue feb 21 2012 comments 2 sea captain date real or fake as far as niche dating sites go you can t get much more niche than seacaptaindate com it describes itself as the only place for sea captains to connect with men and women who share a love of the ocean now i m willing to believe that there are niche dating sites out there but seacaptaindate com seems a little too weird to be real is it really just an elaborate joke i m not the first to ponder this question the site first attracted attention back in jan 2011 when articles about it appeared on nerve com time com and howaboutwe com among others these sites expressed some doubts but overall leaned toward the site being real most recently jezebel com weighed in on the matter and they too decided the site seemed to be real since they managed to contact a spokesperson for the site who in turn connected them with a woman who claimed she had actually been on a date with a sea captain through the site jezebel com conceded that both the site rep and the woman could have been in on the gag but noted if that s true someone out there is trying really really hard to make us believe that you can sign up to date sea captains on the internet and that s a labor of love in itself however i still have my doubts here are the things that have my hoax sense buzzing 1 the site is registered anonymously this in itself doesn t mean anything except that anonymity is the preferred method of operation of hoaxers 2 the site was registered in 2010 but it claims that its business has existed since 2007 it explains that it used to be called atlantisdate com however i can t find any evidence that atlantisdate com ever existed before 2011 according to the info in the whois database atlantisdate com was only created in jan 2011 which is a bit odd if the site supposedly existed since 2007 3 the gallery of sea captains who are members of the site doesn t seem to have changed at all since jan 2011 so if the site is real its member base is pretty static doesn t appear to be getting much new business 4 finally check out the sea captain date song and listen to the lyrics there s a place to go to find the lady of your dreams and sail into the sunset where no one hears her screams i m sorry but no real dating business would be making jokes about its members murdering women on the high seas the site credits the sea captain date song to acclaimed songwriter and musician cole gladis coincidentally gladis lives in philadelphia where sea captain date also says that it has its offices i m guessing the entire site is a joke dreamed up by gladis categories sex romance websites posted by alex on mon feb 20 2012 comments 2 the buxton mermaid an old mermaid was recently found stored in the archives of the buxton museum and art gallery and a research team from the university of lincoln decided to examine it so far they ve discovered that its hair is human its upper body is constructed of wood and wire its teeth are carved bone and its eyes are mollusc shell future tests will determine what fish its tail came from link bbc news at first i thought it looked like the bloomsbury mermaid pictured below but no they re definitely different mermaids though similar in design thanks hudson categories animals cryptozoology posted by alex on thu feb 16 2012 comments 5 should disclaimers be required for photoshopped ads rep katie hobbs has introduced a bill into the arizona state legislature that would require advertisers to put the following disclaimer on advertisements if the image in the ad was photoshopped link zacentral com postproduction techniques were made to alter the appearance in this advertisement when using this product similar results may not be achieved similar legislation has been introduced in the uk and france its purpose being to try to counteract the social pressure on people particularly young girls to feel the need to look perfect to remind them that the way models look in ads isn t reality the problem of course is that every ad nowadays uses digital enhancements of some kind to improve pictures so every ad would have to carry the disclaimer muting its effect also why focus on post production techniques when pre production techniques lighting focus makeup can be just as deceptive but having said that i do sympathize with the spirit of the legislation if a company says that their product can remove wrinkles or blemishes and they show a picture of a model with perfect skin it does seem deceptive if that model s face was made perfectly smooth by photoshop not by use of the product it s the old problem that was raised in the sandpaper test case back in the early 1960s when does the use of photographic tricks by advertisers cross the line from enhancement of a product to outright deception categories fashion photos videos posted by alex on thu feb 16 2012 comments 3 the society for insulting women and frightening children the annual report of the board of regents of the smithsonian institution for the year 1873 includes an article about the mathematician inventor charles babbage in this article there s a page long footnote discussing some hoaxes and at the end of this footnote there s a brief reference to the existence of a curious group that called itself the society for insulting women and frightening children what is this society i haven t been able to find it mentioned anywhere except in this smithsonian report but it sounds like a clandestine group of 19th century pranksters the footnote is signed j h which i assume stands for joseph henry the secretary of the smithsonian at the time he s a pretty credible source so i assume he wasn t simply making up this society if anyone has any information about this society let me know categories pranks posted by alex on wed feb 15 2012 comments 2 hoaxing hitchhiker found on ebay in 1941 tommy graham employed a clever but slightly duplicitous technique to get rides as he hitchhiked from maryland to california he used an oil can as a suitcase so that drivers thought his car had broken down and stopped to help him out i wonder if this technique would work today do people even pick up hitchhikers anymore categories ebay exploration travel posted by alex on mon feb 13 2012 comments 4 from the hoax archive the sandpaper test 1960 in 1959 the colgate palmolive company began airing three tv ads in america for its palmolive rapid shave shaving cream all three commercials included a sandpaper test designed to demonstrate that rapid shave s moisturizing action was so powerful it would not only soften up even the heaviest beard in seconds but also make sandpaper shaveable but what viewers were led to believe was a piece of sandpaper being shaved was actually plexiglass covered with sand more after the jump comments 4 categories
