1. "Facebook soon plans to institute a monthly charge for users."
2. "The new iPhone 6 is contaminated with the deadly Ebola virus."
3. "Apple's new "Wave" technology allows you to quickly recharge your iPhone by microwaving it."
None of these statements are true - but they are among the top 25 urban legends currently circulating most widely, as determined by frequency of access, user searches, reader e-mail, and media coverage.
How do you verify the validity or falsity of these stories (Urban Legends) circulating on the internet and in the press? You know, the warnings your friends send you in and e-mail that has been sent and resent by 15 people, telling you that you may die by using the pump handle at a gas station.
This resource tracks these urban legends and is the world's authority on this type of nonsense. 20/20, ABC World News, CNN Sunday Morning, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and the Reader's Digest have provided extensive coverage regarding this valuable resource.
