About the Museum
The Museum of Hoaxes is dedicated to promoting knowledge about hoaxes. (Click here for opening hours, etc.) On our blog we post about dubious- sounding claims, and whatever else strikes our fancy. The site is also home to the Hoaxipedia (the museum's online encyclopedia of hoaxes), the Hoax Forum, and the Top 100 April Fools' Day Hoaxes.

The museum was created in 1997 by Alex Boese. He's assisted by a staff of deputy curators and docents. Alex is the author of three books, most recently Elephants on Acid: And Other Bizarre Experiments (which has nothing to do with hoaxes). Check out the list of the Top 20 Most Bizarre Experiments of All Time for a preview.

Toma Sota Balcu
The latest craze sweeping through LiveJournal, Xanga, and other blogging communities involves people posting this message on their blogs:

A girl died in 1933 by a homicidal murderer. He buried her in the ground when she was still alive. The murdered chanted, "Toma sota balcu" as he buried her. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will be on your ceiling. She will suffocate you like she was suffocated. If you post this, she will not bother you. Your kindness will be rewarded.

It obviously seems to be inspired by the movie The Ring. Other than that I don't know much about this (such as who started it, etc.), though I do know that I'm now safe.

I never reposted it, Im still alive.
It's going around myspace now.
I hate people who start these things, I hate the people who get scared thinking its real even more.grin
I find it hard to believe that just because I didn't repost something on the internet that someone is going to kill me. It's all a big joke.

Now the "Toma sota balcu" thing is in Myspace.com and making it's way pretty well around. I'm not perpetuating it, just wondering about it though. I hat ethese things personally... but I would just like to commend everyone here, whose posts I've read, on having such a great sense of humor. I rather enjoyed myself, thank you all.

A grandma was giving head to a homocidal murderer in 1933. He buried her in the ground when she was still alive. The murdered chanted "Fee Fi Fo Fum, I like pie it makes me cum." Now that you read the chant, you will meet grandma. In the middle of the night she will be on your ceiling. If you say "Thats my pie kitty" when you see her, you will be safe. Your kindness will be rewarded, besides the fact of everyone knowing how gullible you are.

Regarding Toma Sota Balcu: There are several varying versions of this chain letter. In one, the chant reads "tomo sama te blistat," a little more Latin sounding. Like the game of telephone, the message is altered as it is passed around. For the record, this is all nonsense anyway. The real chant was "Culbo mantakie lokohanan." Someone should put that in the next posting of the chain letter.

See, this makes no sence.
A homicidal murderer?
I'd like to meet a murderer who wasn't homicidal.
