After reading ZapperZ's recent insight, I think a physics/science specific snopes section could be an interesting idea (obviously the posting should be allowed only by selected people or after reviewed by a selected few). Over the period, this could become a very resourceful database. And any crackpot idea that pops up in PF or in real life, we just need to point to the snopes thread. This should also make the moderator's life easier, than digging any old locked thread that discussed the same incorrect ideas.
Since my suggestion for the content is as a one page explanation, not a thread for discussion, the initial thread should be concise, complete and well drafted, with a predecided format. (like snopes.com content). (so posts could be rejected if it is not well drafted, eventhough the content is accurate)
It would be fun thing to revisit these pages, may be few decades later, to see what weird ideas people had in the past :)
