OK, 1st. Before you send me emails like this, please check http://www.snopes.com. Search for the damn thing and if it is an urban legend, or a hoax, or a mistake, don’t send it to me. Because this particular legend has Urban Legend written all over it.

  1. Note the call to authority used over and over again. So many experts are named to provide “veracity”.
  2. Other dead giveaway: inflammatory language. “highly toxic” and “cancer” for example.
  3. Also, “a friend of a friend told me”…not true.
  4. Getting money by emailing your friends…not true.
  5. Dead pets, dead children, dead anyone…probably not true.
  6. “forward this to every (man/woman/friend/coworker) you know”…not true.
  7. “This is not a joke”…not true.
  8. email taxes…not true.
  9. Other hallmarks: bad grammar, spelling, spacing within words or other mistakes…this text is probably not true.
