Snopes.com is a reliable source for busting (or verifying) internet myths. As with this article, they usually have links at the bottom of the page to mainstream news sources about the topic. If they don't have definitive proof, they make a strong case but always mark the entry as "Undetermined" or "Unlikely" unless they have sources. Whenever someone sends me a lame hoax email (forward this to ten people for a free ipod!! febreeze kills pets!! flashing your headlights makes you a target for gang killings!!) I'll look it up on Snopes and email a link to the sender so they know they were duped (and hopefully think twice before passing on stuff like that again). It's cool to see Snopes work other way, with "it can't be true" stories like this.
