Misquoting Snopes
We went over to a friend's house for Shabbat dinner, and, as conversations will, we covered some strange and eclectic topics. At one point, one of the attendees asserted, "Did you know it's Disney policy that no one ever dies on Disney property?" Having been a Disney employee a long time ago, I'll admit I showed skepticism, until the attendee said, "It's true! I looked it up on Snopes!" And that was that. Because Snopes is, of course, the authority on urban legend.
This morning, I looked it up on Snopes:
Claims: Disney can legitimately claim that no one has ever died at one of their theme parks, because they always ensure that accident victims are removed from park property before being declared dead.
Status: False.
I'm sure this has happened to others out there, but I'll admit it was a first for me.

Snopes has a number of things to say about this problem.
