Ever been to a web site where you cannot copy the text ?
This is to protect the site contents forcing you to copy the url to direct your readers to the site rather just quoting the text..
This is a Java script trick .. but there is a way .. took me a while to suss it..
In your browser, I am using Firefox, go to Firefox preferences, Content and Un-tick 'Enable Java Script' (Other browsers may be different but same idea) .
Of course you will need to re enable Java to fully use some parts of sites .. eg, after disable , the text buttons on Fun posts won't work.
To demonstrate .. go to http://www.snopes.com/ then try to copy a chunk of text.. won't let you, now disable the Java and try again ..
example I just copy/pasted

Q: Is everything on this site about 'urban legends'?
A: In a strict folkloric sense, no. Urban legends are a specific type of folklore, and many of the items discussed on this site do not fall under the folkloric definition of "urban legend."
