[rant]I get really angry when I see such utter unscientific rubbish like this. This kind of message is pure alarmism and is evil because it is so untrue. OK, don't take my word for it, have a look here if you don't believe me.

This is spam, pure and simple, and any credulous entity who believes it and passes it on becomes de facto a spammer.

My advice to those who receive messages of this nature is to delete them and do not pass them along. If you are in doubt, go to www.snopes.com and put a keyword in the search space. You will soon find out whether you have been taken for a pigeon or not.[/rant]

Bubbles, dont worry he was trying to help. He seems that he is mean all the time and mess around with jokes and post which might not be true. But he is doing a good job with that. Dont worry he is not mean he is just old and wise. Right Devil?
