A movie about mysterious crop circles turns out to be a summer blockbuster. U.S. News & World Report publishes a special double issue entitled "The Art of the Hoax." Websites, including ABCNEWS.com, dedicate space to tracking urban legends. Lots of gullible folks are out there, apparently eager to be duped, swindled, misled, tricked, and deceived time after time. The Guy With The Hook And Other Urban Legends 2004 Calendar is a collection of the strangest and most outlandish hoaxes and urban legends to capture the public's attention. Readers will find out how each tall tale started and the truth behind it, so as not to fall for stories like the one about a popular soft drink that causes sterility or the one about the U.S. government studying the effects of bio-terrorism by having military aircraft spray chemical agents via contrails. By the way, when are we supposed to receive the $1,000 from Bill Gates for forwarding on that e-mail message?

This is the third calendar I've purchased that Sasha Zullo has created and I think this is by far the best. Well written and impeccably researched...
