There is the sceptics dictionary on skepdic.com which is much more concerned with debunking Pseudoscience, 'alternative' medicines, the supernatural, the paranormal and teaching critical thinking skills.
I use it more than snopes, but snopes also uses critical thinking, and will not accept evidence unless it is verifiable. Snopes is mainly about debunking Urban Myths (or occasionally acknowledging them)

If you depend on a SINGLE website to tell you the truth, then you're just begging to be lied to. You won't find the truth at just ONE site, you have to RESEARCH the truth, by VERIFYING IT through OTHER SOURCES.
If you can't RESEARCH the truth, then you're just looking for ANSWERS. In which case anything will satisfy you. But there won't be anyway of TRULY KNOWING whether or not it is true.

My two favorite sources for checking e-rumors are TruthOrFiction.com and snopes.com. I've found their information to be very reliable and valuable tools for setting the record straight on a number of matters.
