TRUE OR FALSE?

The following True or False items are from Snopes.  This is a site you click on when you wish to check on a possible hoax.  Don't peek, but the answers are provided at the end:

1.  The song, "Happy Birthday," is still copyrighted.

2.  Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" is a tribute to his preschool son who died in an accident.  Watch the video here.

3.  Michael Jackson's trust and SONY own the publishing rights to most of the Beatles songs.

4.  A significantly large percentage of U.S. currency bears traces of cocaine.

5.  Some (50,000) new Wisconsin quarters (and 453 million were minted) contain a printing error that makes these valuable.

6.  American Express issues a special black card that allows its holders to buy anything.

7.  Alka-Seltzer dramatically increased their sales by instructing consumers to use two tablets instead of one.

8.  Coco-Cola is so called because it once contained cocaine.

9.  Your personal information can be obtained through Zabasearch.com and Spokeo.com.

10.  You can get a map from Mapquest with directions to the home address by entering a phone number into GOOGLE.

********************************************************

You should have logically concluded that all are TRUE by your third click.  

  a.  The bottom quarter is defective.

  b.  I tried #10, and my phone number could not find my address.  I wonder if I removed my number from the database.  

  c.  Regarding #9, Zabasearch was only partially correct, but Spokeo pretty much nailed me down, including where I lived, value of apartment and my age.  Spooky.  There are 23 Patrick Takahashis in the country.  Even more scary, you can get a lot more info if you agree to pay them.  However, Spokeo charges only $4.95 for three months of checking on whomever you want.
