According to Snopes this was an April Fools joke:
Have you people gone mad? Snopes should never, ever be used in the same sentence as "According to," or "Snopes says" unless it is to thoroughly rebuke this married couple who came up with this faux research site as a hobby, and who are a lying sack. They claim that they are nonpartisan, but really:
How many times have we heard that same crap from the other Leftist "fact checking" sites?
They don't know the first thing about doing real research, and how they got their reputation as a legitimate mythbuster is beyond me.
Snopes is totally worthless, except to hear what the Left is lying about.
