    Yes, the very best hoaxes have not been discovered yet. So there is hope. PS: I don't think the faux Times was really supposed to fool anyone!

    Can a con count as a hoax? There was that guy not too long ago who posed as a CIA agent, said he could use their satellites to diagnose and cure diseases these people didn't even have. He went to jail, which I found tragic, since it seemed to me his victims really kind of had it coming. He's kind of a hero of mine.

    I've been asked to help transfer a large sum of money from Nigeria. But I'm sure this is totally legitimate.
