Since Nov, 2002 the Museum of Hoaxes has existed both in virtual form (this website) and in ink-and-paper form (as a book). What's the difference between the two? For the book I took all the best stuff from the website, polished it up, and added many more hoaxes that I'd purposefully been keeping up my sleeve.
