Uttimately, I learned a lot from the revelation of Snopes’s decision to actually be an animated being, rather than just two people checkin’ facts. Nicely done, imo. Had me fooled just by their word. Wow, that’s a hard task.

On the Mister Ed page at Snopes, there’s another link under Additional Information that explains that this isn’t true. It’s a test for the gullible. I believed it for a year before I investigated further…even though it’s not plausible in the least when you think about it.

The Snopes page is a falsehood:

It’s part of their TRoLL page set up to teach unwary people that they shouldn’t believe everything they read on the internet. Clicking on more information leads to:

So snopes tricked you. The Bamboo Harvester story is the true one…

I’m surprised that you fell for the Bamboo Harvester falsehood; that Palomino was only used for live promotional events. The Amelia story is the true one, and more interesting, too!

I had no idea that cockatoos could live so long. That’s awesome.

Per Snopes, Mr. Ed was a zebra named Amelia…

I thought the zebra part was cool…but I like Kara’s version more!
