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.
The Lady in the Tree
Status: Pareidolia
More tree pareidolia. But this time, it's not the Virgin Mary. It's a naked lady. In theory, it could be a naked Virgin Mary, but no one has made that claim.The tree, which is over 100 years old, stood on a corner in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It was going to be cut down. After its branches were removed, local residents noticed the woman. It wasn't enough to save the tree. They chopped it down anyway, but the owners are planning on making a statue out of the wood.
Listed in chronological order. Newest comments at the end.

Naked? I don't know. At best it looks like a firgure facing away from the camera trying to climb the tree. The figure has its left leg up like it's climbing a step. And its left arm is reaching up to the branch.
That's the best I can make out of it and that's pretty iffy.

It's obviously a Dryad. It was a crime to cut her down.

Posted by JoOdd on Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 01:09 PMI don't see how it's naked
Maybe the MAN who saw it first lives a very lonely life filled only with hope.

Posted by TimeCreeper on Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 03:45 PMDarn it TimeCreeper, now I see it too!
Posted by Captain DaFt on Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 06:24 PMIt's like a rohrshach test. I see a naked lady very clearly, which evidently says more about me than about the tree.
Posted by Alex in San Diego on Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 09:27 PMThat woman has a big a$$. :D
Posted by Dan Sz. in MI on Wed Apr 09, 2008 at 03:14 AMWow, this time I actually see! A naked woman climbing the tree! And her ass is perfectly normal, Dan.
See, us pagans know how to put a woman in a tree - none of that veiled, barely-visible message from God malarkey - no, we have a full blown naked woman!

I see Wile E Coyote who ran into a tree chasing the Road Runner =)
