This cracks me up.

Proof that Turtle is part of the cut & paste grassroots movement of the right-wing nut jobs.

Too bad he doesn't seem to recognize where these quotes actually come from.

I'm a big meanie. If it gets deleted, I'd like to see this preserved for posterity :)

Turtle, where did you find this?

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Snopes seems to think that many of these started with Quayle. Of course, they're in the body, and not the researched part.

Yeah, you should definately believe everything you get via email.

BTW, I'm Nigerian royalty and I need your help . . . send me money.



Oh yeah - Paul - I just doubt EVERY single thing my MOM sends to me.

The penalty is to send a note to all of the people to whom you forwarded that email, and let them know that it's false.

For extra credit, you can say it was probably a republican who said most of them in the first place >:(:P>:(:P

I dunno man. I recognise chain-mail crapola pretty fast and when my mom sends stuff like that to me I tell her it's bogus and then point her to somewhere like Snopes.

I've had to go so far as to tell her and my sisters (also chain-mail-oholics) to just stop sending me stuff like that altogether.

I've been dropped off email lists faster then I thought I could be for replying to all telling everyone the email was false with a nice link to a site. :D

Some people just can't admit they were wrong to email groups. :P

My dad sends me all kinds of forwards that I personally hardly ever believe, and then I send him an email back to correct him if I know it's false, or to express my skepticism if I don't believe it. The only trouble is, he usually sends these things that he receives (he is not the one who goes and seeks them) on to a bunch of other people besides me. I have tried and tried to tell him to either not bother sending them out, or verify the claims made in them. He continues on in his naivete, though. Several times, I have received a mass-email from him correcting or apologizing for the information that he forwarded.

In recent memory, he sent me the one about how some nonexistent medical organization said that if you feel a heart attack coming on, you can save your life by coughing violently as a substitute for immediate CPR -- false; and one about how Mr. Rogers was a trained military killer who had dispatched 25 men, and wore long-sleeved sweaters to cover his many tattoos. Someone sent out a response that also reached me, refuting this one pretty well, too. (The same was said about Captain Kangaroo, actually.)

Some people are so smitten with the internet that they fall for all the hoaxes just because they're so eager to take part in the exchange of information, I think.

Should have researched it - got it in an e-mail***

Turtle,
After starting such a thread, you're lucky of Phillykev, Kallend, Quade and co... let you off the hook ever. Hell, you may end up as someone's signature...;)

Kallend, you definitely have to revert to the Green head. I may start a poll in the Bonfire...
