Here are some allegedly true stories
Hackers, managed to break into the telephone system of Weight Watchers in Glasgow, and changed the outgoing message to Hello, you fat bastard
From The Guardian concerning a sign seen in a Police canteen in Christchurch, New Zealand: +Will the person who took a slice of cake from the Commissioner's Office return it immediately. It is needed as evidence in a poisoning case.+
From The Derby Abbey Community news: -We apologise for the error in the last edition, in which we stated that +Mr Fred Nicolme is a Defective in the Police Force+. This was a typographical error. We meant of Course that Mr Nicolme is a Detective in the Police Farce.-
From the Churchdown Parish Magazine: -Would the Congregation please note that the bowl at the back of the Church, labelled -For The Sick-, is for monetary donations only.

It's to do with the evidence backing them up. Theories are not designed to be perfect representations. Indeed they can not be as they are descriptions of naturally observed phenomena. No description can be exact. The Big Bang for instance has some startling evidence which makes alternative theories currently untenable. These following points are observations and are not theories, but the truth of what is actually going on: You have the fact of the Red Shift phenomena, as all parts of the universe rush away in a universal expansion. The expansion reveals that in the distant past the universe must have been very small. You have a fact of the cosmic microwave background radiation which permeates all of space, preserving the energy signatures of an early state universe which was minuscule in size. You have the fact that no light has been observed older than the predicted age of the universe (13.7 billion years). The oldest objects observed in space are 13.1 billion years old. You have the fact that the universe's theoretical start point of a singularity has examples that exist in nature. Black Holes also have a singularity at their core proving that you can reach a point of 0 space but infinite energy. Now these facts don't make the Big Bang true, but based on what we know it's our best known fit for these facts. Any rival theory has to explain these observations in nature, otherwise they would not be considered reliable. The big bang isn't exactly what happened of course, but it's the best description we humans can give with our limitations and our available evidence. It is because of this self-correcting trait that theories become refined and improved over the years, as the more evidence for something you have, the better the predictions those theories can make. If evidence comes out to utterly contradict the Big Bang, then we will need to have a good rethink on the whole issue. However in 50 years, no such evidence has ever come to light. So think what you like of theories, but you have to accept the facts. Any science is only as good as the evidence supporting it. Creationism on the other hand has no evidence supporting it, so can't ever make good science. (No one should be mixing science and religion anyway)

My favorite site is snopes.com. You can always get the truth there. I check it first thing before I pass on emails from friends, etc. especially if it sounds suspicious.
Having come across MANY typos in our own local newspaper, I can certainly believe those without hesitation. I've been known to make a typo or two myself. When I get enough money together, I'm going to get a computer that spells better. LOL !!!

Any thing written in the guardian or a church magazine as to be true.

Makes me think of the strange headlines on Jay Leno on Monday nights. The last two are the most believeable.

I once was acquainted with a man who wrote a column for the local newspaper. He often said, "You can't make this stuff up, I've tried".
Yes I do believe it and stranger things than that wouldn't surprise me...
