It's all relative

Bill Gates is giving away $100 for passing this email to 5 of your friends...

AOL is going to start charging for its instant message service...

George W. Bush has the lowest IQ of any President in the last 50 years...

Parents can obtain $500 throught a class-action settlement with the Gerber Company....

A study has found that fellatio can significantly decrease the risk of breast cancer in women...


You've seen these clogging your inbox. I don't know what gets into normally clear-thinking people that makes them forward this crap (although I think more research should be done on that last one. It can't hurt).

The latest one that's making the rounds is that oil company boycott deal where you're supposed to boycott the two biggest oil companies for a full year, thus they'll be forced to lower their prices, thereby forcing the other oil companies to follow suit. Before you know it, gas will be down to a svelte $1.50/gallon. It's all crap, of course: www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/gasout.asp

I don't get many of these types of emails since I tend to associate with more level-headed people than average. However, I was treated to this gas boycott email by my... mother.

MOOOooooooOOOM!!
