PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU
CARE ABOUT! We see them nearly every day, e-mails with headlines
like that telling stories just begging to be passed on. The vast majority,
however, are hoaxes and urban legends. Passing them on to your friends
and relatives clogs the Internet and e-mail servers. Before sending
them on and contrib - uting to the problem, please check the page below
for reputable resources to verify or debunk the stories.
