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.

THE TOILET MONSTERYour wife will never yell at you about leaving the seat up again! The Toilet Monster attaches to the inside of the toilet bowl by suction cups. As the unsuspecting person goes to use the bathroom, they'll scream as they lift the lid and are greeted by the Toilet Monster! Not recommended for the elderly or those with a weak heart.

Tsunami Fish
An email has been going around showing photos of bizarre, supposedly never-before-seen deep-sea creatures that have been washing up on beaches because of the tsunami. Photos of the creatures can be seen on this Russian website. It's obviously a hoax since these photos have been floating around the internet for ages. One of them has even appeared on my site before. But the Practical Fishkeeping site has done everyone a service by identifying what all these sea creatures actually are. |  |  |

Glad to see the Dusty girl back, but that Fangtooth fish is downright scary, even at 15cm. Pictures like this keep me on the beach and out of the water.
Posted by Daniel on Tue Jan 18, 2005 at 12:51 PMThanks Alex! I had actually considered trying to search out each fish, but I knew that would take hours, days, maybe even weeks. Sometimes I think I am addicted to searching, maybe I should start Searchers Anonymous. 
Posted by Myst on Tue Jan 18, 2005 at 01:40 PMPractical Fishkeeping is a British aquarium hobby magazine. I haven't been reading it lately (I do read its American equivalents), but this is pretty good. Maybe I'll check out PF magazine again).
