Woman-Turns-Into-Snake Rumor
Social networking sites in Nigeria have been ablaze with the rumor that a woman turned into a snake at the Hotel Excel in Warri. The proprietor of the hotel, Chief Moses Odeh, has been doing everything he can to put out the rumor, but once these stories get started, they acquire a life of their own. (informationnigeria.org)
African rumors still have true strangeness to them. Here in America, the majority of twitter and facebook rumors are fake reports of celebrity deaths... which get boring after a while. It'd be kind of refreshing to see a rumor claim that Madonna or Lady Gaga didn't die, but instead turned into a snake.

My girlfriend's turned into a hippo since I've known her. She could learn something from this African woman.

It's amazing that a culture can believe a mammal can change into a reptile and still be capable of scamming so many Americans with e-mail schemes.

It's amazing a culture that's visited the moon is so frequently prey to scammers from a culture that believes mammals can change into reptiles.

Wait, you're telling me that Madonna and Lady Gaga are NOT snakes?

Maybe we need to start a Museum of Hoaxes Twitter Feed, then, and begin to send out these sorts of announcements. Then we could watch to see if they catch on.

I believe there is a MoH twitter feed...I just don't think it's very active...

Ahh...yes. If you look to the top right hand side of this page, there is a link to Twitter. Although it appears as though the tweets made are just these articles here on the main page.
