chain emails

footfootfoot · 07-09-2008, 03:16 PM

After years of sending "Make snopes your homepage." replies, I've been thinking about responding to stupid forwards, especially the ones with every fricking person's email address visible, with a very serious sounding alarm letter warning them of the dangers of Dihydrogen Oxide and how they should write an email to washington etc etc hoping that they will realize how they are not intelligent enough to use the interwebs. Also I think I can automatically filter out any message which has 'aol' in the address, that would take care of 90% of the junk...

IIRC a city council somewhere (CA, I believe) debated and voted to ban the use of Dihydrogen Oxide within city limits after hearing how it made its way into so many aspects of daily life and has been linked directly to a number of deaths each year.

GET THE FACTS! Here is a site explaining all about the risks of Dihyrogen monoxide, and places you might expect to find it, as well as accounts of use by such genocidal groups as Nazis and the KKK.

I've even heard that it was used in Abu Ghraib.
