We featured the World Jump Day website earlier. The site now presents the incredible results caused by joint efforts of millions of people who took part in the synchronous world-wide jumping in order to stop global warming. A truly trustworthy illustration of human powers.
Hoax websites are the WWW’s optical illusions. As of today, Wikipedia’s entry on Hoax begins:

Imagine a liar’s website about a hoax. How do you tell right from wrong? Is this blog a hoax? Yes, in some way it probably is. As there is more to it than its trueness.

The Museum of Hoaxes maintains a weblog about hoax websites.
