	nessie clue has a typo "releaved."

	I find hoaxes, particularly the more blatant and outrageous ones, just plain fascinating. Also, accept Furry Trout for Fur-Bearing Trout. Maybe just accept Balloon for Balloon Boy; I tried Balloon Child and Balloon Stowaway, which didn't work. A few typos; "reveled" instead of revealed in the Man-eating Tree info, acknowledge instead of acknowledged in Roswell, and a superfluous "a" in Spaghetti Tree.

	@mimbleton & carbon_rod I got all mistakes covered that you guys pointed out. Thank you.

	If some of these hoaxes are fake, I think Sporcle will implode.

	Just a tiny detail-- the picture for the man-eating tree is a drawing of the Ya-Te-Veo, which is South American. The tree Edmund Spencer wrote about was from Madagascar.

	Typing in "the" (which I did to get The Turk, so it's plausible) uncovers "life on the moon" and "9/11 Airplane Photo".

	This was interesting - The BBC seem to have made it a tradition to get a joke into the news on 1st April, the website used as a source for this is definitly worth a read ;-)

	Um mermaids are real, don't you watch discovery channel? Hellllloooooo?

	@spotxspot I could not find a good picture for a replace so I added a note about it being a different man-eating tree. (One sentence I thought I never use). @kansasjayhawk apparently if you leave a / at the end of the answers the will be accepted and I resolved that. @godpaul I actually like special. It was a great piece of spectulative evolution. The biggest problem it did not say it was fiction until at the end of the credits. So just like modern TV credits it is tiny and right next to a large commerical for a one of the channel's shows. So alot of people though it was real.

	Would you accept furry fish or furred fish? Is it necessary to recognize it as a trout?

	Many grammar errors in the extra info, particularly missing commas. Also "found a skull fragments", "was a fairly unknown in the united kingdom", "was debunked cause the plane". Faeries should be accepted for fairies, as well.

	Nice selection, but the grammar leaves a fair amount to be desired. I wasn't aware that the famous Nessie photo had been proven to be a fake (although it always seemed likely that it was). Perhaps in the extra info for crop circles, "man-made" would be a better description than "faked"? Unlike most of the others, which are not what they appear to be (Nessie, fairies, body of alien etc.), the photo of a crop circle is exactly what it appears to be - a pattern in a field made by cutting or flattening certain areas - but it's not of extraterrestrial origin.
