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 Girl With X-Ray Eyes
Natasha Demkina, a young girl living in Saransk, Russia, began to receive a lot of media attention around the middle of last month. It started with an article in Pravda, which hailed her as the 'Girl with X-ray vision'. You see, Natasha possesses the unusual ability to peer through human flesh and spot diseases and injuries that are lurking unseen within people's bodies. Or, at least, this is what Pravda claimed. It didn't take long for more newspapers to catch onto the story. The British Sun has been the most relentless about pursuing it. They've actually flown Natasha to London and are now parading her around like some kind of weird curiosity. Does Natasha really have x-ray eyes? Well, I doubt it. But I'm sure The Sun is going to milk this for all it's worth.

I found these to be far more fair and balanced than the above drek.

I don't expect Internet trolls like Archangel to understand the difference between respected published literature and the e-bleatings of cranks and trolls. But normal readers here should appreciate the difference by noting which references are cited by researchers and university faculty -- such as for the Fall 2005 course on The Scientific Method being taught at Southern Methodist University, which lists the Skeptical Inquirer reports on Natasha Demkina as recommended reading:

I never knew that lol!!! They are everywhere these day. stupid troll people seriously. they never admit they are wrong because they have no life. esp nick.
just because you things has to be "scientific" and it needs to be proven biologically means its true. people these day.
it's possible she could see through living tissues or see aura. we could find her ability really helpful. if she is doing the "cold reading" she is really skillful...unlike nick here. who tries making money for making other people look like a fraud.
americans... anything is possible, but it doesnt mean it's impossible if you dont have the ability to do that. what she did up there was really amazing and you guys still trying to insult her claims.
she even flown to london and japan. they were all impressed by her ability. i don't see why nick has to prove anything. its almost like if nick doesn't understand women.

Feed the Troll!
Does anyone understand a 17 year old girl?
Does anyone understand the chemical inbalance of a women after giving birth to a child?
Does anyone understand that even though they are wrong they wont admit it?
Who are we to say she is a fraud?
I don't see any harm done so far...

"Does anybody understand the chemical imbalance" that makes a person seek attention by posting mindless and illiterate drivel?
If Loozer and Trollfeeder would kindly submit themselves for an autopsy, they could greatly help scientists discover what goes wrong inside of broken minds.

LOL! Thanks Trollfeeder and lolzer. I needed a good laugh. I think nick takes himself too seriously, and he may have gone over the edge when he basically insulted every internet user on the planet...
The only reason I can see that he's so defensive is because he knows he's wrong and if he admitted it, it would be the end of his career and reputation - not mention the reputations of his cronies. So he fights every little battle with every weapon at his disposal. He even has the balls to attack a Nobel Prize winner on page 10 of this thread, saying "I don't think Brian Josephson has done anything "truly scientific" since winning his Nobel prize in 1973 -- the same year he turned to the dark side and endorsed the real, genuine fake psychic powers”

What Nobel Prize have you won, nick? The Nobel Troll Prize?
Troll boy just attacks and insults anyone who disagrees with him.
Feed the Troll!!

Can you handle the truth? Not many people are able to do that. The truth is Natasha could see what is going on in the human body.
Natasha isn't dumb if she's really a fraud. Just like Nick isn't a really an ass. Some people are recieving bad information or being mistreated. Just like Natasha is being mistreated with her test.

Oh my god. I submitted my last post before I saw the Troll's 'autopsy' comment. What in the hell is wrong this man?
Definite Trolldom. And ya know what, he's used that little jewel before.
The guy is out of control.

Hahaha... Archangel so smart! I didn't know Nobel Troll Prize exist! *sarcasm*
Nick must be awesome winning that prize. I want to nominate askolnick as the best Troll of the year.

Trollfeeder, I second your emotion...
Actually, I'm a little worried about our little Troll. Someone commented earlier in this forum's thread the askolnick gets wilder and wilder. Threats, insults, condescending putdowns.
Is he getting drunk? Is he off his meds? Is he just an unbelievably classic Troll? Can he really be the respected and renowned Andrew Skolnick, tamer of the young Russian teenage girl, who is required reading at a respected university? Can he leap tall buildings in a single bound; is an alien from another world? Look, up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's SUPERTROLL!! Nothing mild-mannered about this reporter for a small, he's rude, he's abusive, he's insulting, he's INSANE!!!
Oh my. UncleBob, where are you when we need you...
askolnick, this is what you get when you insult the unwashed masses. Snark.

It's a shame that one character assassin and several junior highschool trolls are taking over this thread. I'll leave it to them. But I will return to post links to information on Natasha Demkina reported in respected print and online publications.
