Top 100 April Fool's Hoaxes

I created the Museum of Hoaxes back in 1997. It began as research notes for my doctoral dissertation but soon made its way onto the web where it rapidly transformed into a full-time means for me to procrastinate. As proof of this, I never finished the dissertation, but the Museum, during the same period of time, grew enormously. Almost one million people visited it during the month of April 2004 alone, and it led me to write a book exploring the most outrageous hoaxes ever perpetrated. The book, like the website, is titled THE MUSEUM OF HOAXES. It was published in November, 2002 by Dutton Press.
