Huckleberries: Rumors, Legends & More

First, you should know that Snopes.com is an online service that debunks rumors and urban legends. Secondly, you should know that Berry Picker TUBOB has a rapier wit and majors in satire on his blog, The Unbearable Bobness of Being. What do Snopes and TUBOB have in common? Tongue firmly cheeked, TUBOB made up some quotes that he attributed to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on an Aug. 30 blog post. Sample: "God made dinosaurs 4,000 years ago as ultimately flawed creatures, lizards of Satan really, so when they died and became petroleum products we, made in his perfect image, could use them in our pickup trucks, snow machines and fishing boats"
