7. URBAN LEGENDS
For “urban legends” and verifying some information, I also use this link regularly…called www.snopes.com
Here’s a little info about snopes.com: The snopes.com website was founded by Barbara and David Mikkelson, a husband and wife team who live and work in the Los Angeles area. What they began in 1995 as an expression of their shared interest in researching urban legends has since grown into what is widely regarded by folklorists, journalists, and laypersons alike as one of the World Wide Web’s essential resources. Snopes.com is routinely included in annual “Best of the Web” lists and has been the recipient of two Webby awards.
Q: What are ‘snopes’? A: Snopes is the name of a family of characters who appear throughout the works of American writer William Faulkner.
