Everyone gets those e-mails telling a brief horror story about "little Susan" who wishes she had only known not to flash her headlights at oncoming cars because it was part of a violent "Blood Gang" initiation ritual. Well, I decided to start finding out whether those e-mails were true, partly true, or straight-up hoaxes. My findings thus far have been very interesting. You can find all the information I've gathered thus far here at my Google Notebook. So far, what I will do to new myths is to post the original text of the hoax e-mail and then post clippings of the relevant information about it, plus Google Notebook automatically includs links to the websites I get my information from.
If you have a Google account you can search my notebook exclusively from the google.com/notebook page. Also, I made a heading for each new myth, so it makes it easy to scroll between the blue headings to find myths relevant to you. Also, if you have some sketchy e-mails, feel free to forward them to me so I can add them to my "myth busting" Notebook collection.
So far I have only busted two myths. One about the Blood Gang initiation ritual and the Dial *677 for emergency dispatch. So far both proved almost entirely false. Anyway, feel free to enjoy my Myth Busters notebook. Btw, prom (Kelsey's is tonight). Wish me luck :)
its funny how many times those things go around. i got one the other day about the dangers of swiffer wet jets to pets & children. turned out it was untrue as well.
why can i not see your pictures anymore?
Yeah, I agree. Hey, could you forward that e-mail to me? I'm going to have one awesome myth-buster notebook!
The site that hosts my pictures is currently down, but when it comes back up I will tell you. I may change hosting sites for the pictures or something. We will see.
Hey guys, for my next post, what do you want? A tech-review or prom-review? I'm leaning towards the prom review...
Maybe a little of both...
That was me. The sign in option was gone. It's back now.
PROM review! and i'll look for that email.
I laugh mockingly at the about.com poll! The gamefaqs poll is more accurate because each user can vote only once and they have to sign in. Anyone at that other site can vote a hundred times! The Wii will sell more.
