A weekly show hosted by John Green, where knowledge junkies get their fix of trivia-tastic information. This week, John looks at some of historys greatest hoaxes including Balloon Boy (the boy, by the way is now in a metal band), Lonelygirl15 and War of the Worlds (you didnt think we could do anon hoaxes and NOT include it, did you?). \r
