Michael Shermer, publisher of the Skeptic Society magazine, wrote an excellent article on this question in Scientific American. He eloquently addresses this question and the silly comment Oprah made when she was interviewing Diana Nyad about her epic 110 mile swim from Cuba. Good reading.
The Baloney Detection Kit video at www.skeptic.com (on home page, about half way down) is also great.
