The Museum of Hoaxes is a website created by Alex Boese in 1997 in San Diego , California as a resource for reporting and discussing hoaxes and urban legends , both past and present.[1] [2] [3] [4]
In 2004, PC Magazine included the site as one of the "Top 100 Sites You Didn't Know You Couldn't Live Without",[5] [6] and Sci Fi Weekly named it "site of the week" for the week beginning 7 February 2007.[7]
Boese has published two books on hoaxes: Museum of Hoaxes [8] and Hippo Eats Dwarf : A Field Guide to Hoaxes and Other B.S.[9] A third book by Boese, Elephants on Acid ,[10] focuses on unusual scientific experiments, with the follow-up Electrified Sheep published in 2011.[11] His latest book Psychedelic Apes is about the weirdest theories in science and history was published in 2019.[12]
