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.

REMOTE CONTROL FART MACHINEThe Brand New Fart Machine has “BoomBox” Technology, which allows more vibrant, natural sounding farts. Simply hide the little speaker, then from up to 100 feet away, press the included remote, and the hidden speaker lets out one of 15 disgusting fart sounds. Place under your co-workers desk, and let the laughter begin.
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.
Real-Life Ken and Barbie Dolls
Steve Erhardt boasts that he's had over 30 plastic surgery operations, at a cost of over $250,000. These include pec, bicep, and butt implants. The results look a little creepy, but he claims to be happy with his new look, even though he really does look plastic. Another real-life Ken doll is Miles Kendall, who has spent about the same amount of money to transform his appearance. In terms of real-life Barbie dolls, there's Cindy Jackson, who describes herself as a "bombshell who wasn't born that way." Of course, Michael Jackson easily retains the title of King of Awful Plastic Surgery. (via J-Walk)

Sometimes I wonder who is creepier, Michael Jackson or the people who love and defend him.
"Second, there is absolutely -no- question that Michae Jackson is the -best- performer out there, there is just denying that."

one of the really scary things anout the real Ken, is that he had no Manly Bulge...truly- just a V, just like Babs...how many kids did that scar for life...ar least GIJoe had scars And a manly bulge, but that's the world of Wartoys, eh?

Posted by Captain Al in Alberta, Canada on Sat Aug 20, 2005 at 07:51 AMI wonder if he's just like Ken below the belt too.

Posted by TC on Sat Aug 20, 2005 at 10:04 AMThere is an Australian guy (probably from Queensland) who is having himself converted into Barbie. This has included removal of some ribs, and (I think) leg extension by breaking and stretching. When seen on TV a couple of years ago, the voice wasn't right. But I've never heard Barbie myself.
Posted by Andy Hatt in New Zealand on Sat Aug 20, 2005 at 07:32 PMI heard that people can get addicted to this sort of thing. Weird...
Posted by Maegan in Tampa, FL - USA on Sun Aug 21, 2005 at 03:47 AMYeah.. Surgical addiction is very real, ditto tattoos. Generally it's a low self-image/esteem thing.. They're trying to make themselves better people, not just physically, but mentally/socially. Very similar to eating disorders, really. If the 'body' is perfect, then the person inside must be as well, right?
Personally, I've met folks with a lot of work done.. they tend to be very shallow, self-absorbed, and grouchy. Me, i've got a spare tire, thinning hair, and bad skin.. and I'm comfortable with it.

Posted by thunder in England on Mon Aug 22, 2005 at 11:56 AMOprah did a show on surgery addiction. One woman on there really did look like a living Barbie doll.
Posted by Dany in Waco, Texas on Mon Aug 22, 2005 at 01:28 PMNot only these persons are creepy: the surgeons who work on them are too.
