Twitter has a vast range of type of accounts, whether they be personal&mdash;the most common, I'm guessing&mdash;fan accounts, activist accounts, organizations accounts and so on. Part of the "so on" here would be fact accounts! Ah, the good ol' babble-some-factual-bullshit-get-rts account-because-people-are-amazingly-gullible. The most popular fact account is @Uberfacts with an astounding 10.8m people who cite this URL. I'm a skeptic of this account and today, we will exercise the art of skeptism! Keep in mind that some of these tweets I'm sure are factual, but we'll criticize the content of it anyway.

The kid pulls out a freakin' knife&mdash;potentially endangering the lives of those around him and Neeson gets fired for punching him?! What?!

 Steve Jobs did not let his kids use iPads and limited their use of technology to a minimum. &mdash; UberFacts (@UberFacts) All I have to ask is why iPads? Why not iPods or Phones? Those microscopic screens will have your kids glued to them, unlike an iPad which you would pretty much have to zoom away from. That's all I'm sayin'.
