Snopes Education

Recently my mom forwarded me a warning about the "postcard" virus. The note claimed it was checked out on Snopes, but didn't include the link. Well, I found the real link and discovered that as I surmised that the warning was a hoax. (There aren't any viruses that can "burn" one's HDD.)

That got me reading various articles on Snopes. There were a couple of interesting entries, one on the "Triangle of Life" that Harry Lam had forwarded me while on assignment, and one on The Great Stork Derby. Charles Millar sounds like he was a really cool guy.
