Whom do you trust? A Test
The following has relevence to this forum, so please bear with me. It is a serious test.
After reading the claim below, and the supporting links, please answer just "Yes" or "No" only, without any discussion or reason for your answer. We will reserve that for later, after sufficient replies have been received.
____________________
When confronted with claims or advice in these boards with which we doubt, we often ask for links to support that advice, preferably from a reputable individual or trusted website.
The Claim: The 1911 silent version of the movie "The Poseidon Adventure" was being screened on the Titanic the night it sank.
Supporting valid links to Snopes.com (a trusted hoax/myth debunking site):
http://www.snopes.com/lost/lost.asp
http://www.snopes.com/lost/poseidon.asp
The second Snopes link also references the Internet Movie DataBase (imdb.com, probably the best authority on movies) for info on this movie:
Poseidon Adventure, The (1911)/
As well, literary references are cited at the bottom of this page.
____________________
Now I personally trust both Snopes and imdb as reference websites (this is a true statement, for the benefit of those who don't know these sources, and is not a 'trick' meant to mislead anybody). These links are all perfectly safe, for those who might be worried about that.
The Question: After viewing these references, do you you now believe the original claim?
Just "Yes" or "No" answers, please. No discussion for now.
