How true is information on the internet?

Some people asking seem to believe that of it's on the internet it has too be true, so if I put on the internet that I'm a 5'10" model/scientist who has 50 million in the bank and lives in a 5 bedroom mini-mansion will I wake up tomorrow 20 years younger, 9 inches taller, in a bedroom as big as my living room and kitchen combined, and ready to retire? I really don't know alot about the internet, so I was just hoping.

    You can't *believe* everything you read on the internet. There is lots of good information out there, but one must use their critical thinking skills and common sense, two things that are sorely lacking in this advanced day and age.

    I would give you 80% information about news is right but 20% news are not because there are many things that news sites like bbc.co.uk, news.com and many other can't tell you and they remain it as a secret. Because they have some limitation on it so they have to follow these limitation.
