thanks for thinking of your friends Dorothy, but this is a very old hoax, at least 5 years old. I didn't even read the entire message, but I bet it says something like it's been verified on snopes.com well, it hasn't, and if you go look, you'll see it's a hoax. so, here's the new rule for posting any sort of warning about something bad which may happen to you if you don't do something to prevent, and by the way pass this on (always a part of these hoaxes): * you are not allowed to post any such warning, especially the kind which say to pass it on, unless you yourself have gone to snopes.com and verified that it is not a hoax. DO NOT believe the message when it says this has been done. thanks everyone.
