Urban Myths

Ever wonder where to look when you receive an email like this:
"little Jimmy is dying of a rare blood disorder and is trying to set a Guiness world record..."
"If you send this email to your contacts then Bill Gates will send you cash..."
"Amy is missing. Send this to your contacts, and maybe we can get her pic around the world..."

Go to www.snopes2.com ...It is an extensive Urban Myth website that will not only tell you if the rumour is false, but will also give you the origin of the myth and where it has circulated etc.

Green M&M's? false
Mexican puppy was really a sewer rat? false
Coca Cola contained Cocaine? true, but it is not a spermicide, and it was boycotted in Israel for accusations that Coca Cola was anti-semitic.

Next time you receive an authentic picture of Jesus taken from an airplane just send a quick link to Snopes...
