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.

Cursor Kite
Status: Real
Has a giant cursor been photoshopped into this picture? It looks like it, but the cursor is actually a kite created by Tim Elverston of WindFire Designs. It's not yet for sale. In the larger version of the picture, you can see someone on the right-hand side holding the strings to keep the kite aloft. More pictures of the Cursor Kite can be seen at the WindFire Designs site. (via OhGizmo)Listed in chronological order. Newest comments at the end.

That's so cool!
Posted by Nettie in Perth, Western Australia on Tue Jul 25, 2006 at 02:14 AMWe're waiting for the version featuring a realistic shadow. 
Posted by Gutza on Tue Jul 25, 2006 at 04:39 AMI actually don't buy this one. It's too perfectly flat in all the pictures.
Posted by catwhowalksbyhimself on Tue Jul 25, 2006 at 05:00 AMI'd like to double-click what that cursor is pointing at... 
Posted by stopeatingmysesamecake on Tue Jul 25, 2006 at 05:44 AMIt's too perfect with the shadow to be photoshopped, and you can see the sky through the thin kite material anyways.
Posted by shootinshark in Marin, CA on Tue Jul 25, 2006 at 10:23 AMOooh, the perfect kite for us geeks...
Posted by Boo in The Land of the Haggii... on Tue Jul 25, 2006 at 11:28 AMThat's so cool! I want one, I want one, I want one.
Wait, I suck at flying kites, nevermind.

I wish the larger image were a bit. . .well, larger.

Posted by Winona in USA on Thu Jul 27, 2006 at 01:24 PMHmm, seems that clicking on it changes the ~. You may want to copy paste that url instead.
Posted by Winona in USA on Thu Jul 27, 2006 at 01:51 PMThis pic is from the Burning Man Festival held in the northern Nevada desert every Labor Day. We actually saw the kite and many other strange things that week!
Posted by Dave in Dallas, Tx on Thu Jul 27, 2006 at 02:10 PMI think I saw that on Instructables today, I'll look for it... No, not there...
