Some hoaxes might seem reasonably credible, at least at first glance. But, others are just plain silly and it’s hard to understand how they can possibly continue to circulate for so long. Here are five ridiculous hoaxes that have crossed the Hoax-Slayer desk in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

  2. HOAX \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Machupo Virus in Paracetamol”<\/strong><\/a>

  4. Absurd Warning – ‘LOL’ stands for ‘Lucifer Our Lord’<\/strong><\/a>
    \nMessages circulating via social media advise users to stop using the abbreviation “LOL” because it stands for “Lucifer Our Lord’ and including it in messages is actually endorsing Satan.<\/li>\n
  5. Decorative Magnets on Refrigerators – Cancer Warning Hoax<\/strong><\/a>
    \nWarning message claims that researchers at Princeton University have discovered that electromagnetic radiation from decorative magnets stuck to refrigerator doors “radiated” the food inside thereby massively increasing the probability of cancer in test mice used in the study.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
