I remember in the old days when you could only get the internet in black and white, there was a site called LOTD.com. It stood for lie of the day and every day they published a new lie. My favourite was "Polos are made out of the crushed bones of whales". Sadly this site is no more, and many like sites seem to have followed in their footsteps and similarly fallen by the way side.
There is a contemporary site I can recommend "Newsbiscuit". This publishes a daily lie article (bit like most of the tabloids, but in the case of this site they admit to making it up).
My favourite article this week:
Meek still waiting admits Pope
His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI has conceded that there have been unforeseen delays regarding an outstanding commitment made nearly 2000 years ago. In an official communique, the Vatican acknowledged: ‘although it was promised that the Meek shall inherit the Earth, there appear to have been some delays fulfilling this aspiration, and we would ask the Meek to bear with us as we look into the possible causes for this apparent hold-up.’
