A lot of these hoaxes is probably written by folks who has nothing better to do and waste everybody else's time!

I can't believe anyone would that gullible.

I have to run now, as I have to wire money to this nice lady in Nigeria, so she can get her millions out of the bank and share it with me.

1. The Deadly Wave At this point it should come as no surprise that one of the most widely shared photographs of the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami of December 26, 2004 also turned out to be the phoniest. Which is too bad, because despite the collage-like quality of the image and its implausibility, it was also breathtaking in a larger-than-life, "The Day After Tomorrow" kind of way.

Hmmm...I think the pictures of a Chinese Tidal Bore (a regular occurance during High Tide on one river in China) passed off as Tsunami Pics, and the pics of exotic deep sea creatures supposedly "washed up" by the Tsunami (none of them were and none were from anywhere near the Tsunami) were FAR more common than this.

I believe that at least 90 percent of it originates with spammers and hackers. In only a couple of days a forwarded e-mail can have hundreds of addresses attached to it, and all a hacker needs is just one address to dump a payload that'll spread like wildfire before Norton or AVG, etc, gets hold of it and comes out with a patch.

A lot of damage can be done in a day.

Didn't the captured Cody action figure hoax also take place in 2005?
