Viral Emails

Anybody else hate dumb email forwards? The ones that contain the least useful facts anyone could ever find? I mean the ones that go "Mice can swallow their own bodies... AND LIVE" Now picture that sentence written in bubbly, pseudo-child's writing font, in a shade of blue, red, or a yellow so bright against the white background that you actually have to adjust your computer screen or your seating position to read it.

And then of course, we have the emails warning us of the "worst virus ever, McAfee won't protect you, your computer will kill your mother." After over 10 years of Google, nobody ever uses it to dispel these, and another contacts list gets infected.

So I'm gonna do that. Everybody forward this around:


Ok, I couldn't believe this when I read it. We've been doing more harm than good.

According to a recent study done by the EPADR (EPA's Department of Recycling), 97% of recycling centers in the U.S. WON'T RECYCLE BOTTLES THAT STILL HAVE THE LABEL ON THEM.

97%. I can't believe it.

Just imagine how many bottles have gone into landfills in THE PAST YEAR ALONE!

Please forward this to all your friends and family so that we can end the cycle.

  2. I don't know who that is. Therefore, he doesn't exist.
