Snopes debunks rumors

Snopes is an American website dedicated to checking and debunking rumors and hearsay, founded by a middle-aged American couple, that verifies the veracity of various claims and relentlessly debunks outright lies on a "true/false/unsure" credibility scale. Like a truth-seeking army for everyone, Snopes makes it easy to sift through a sea of crazy clues, tackling questions as varied as "Is it dangerous to use a cell phone near a gas station?" and "Is the elevator's door-closing button really a button?" "Is the door close button on an elevator really useless?" .
