   Whenever I get one of those forwarded email things, I always check. Almost none are true. I generally don’t even forward the ones that are. Another good site to check on the validity of these things is: http://urbanlegends.about.com/

   Sometimes an urban legend makes it past one of the sites that monitor them, but it is often on the other one.

   [...] This is one of those urban myths that never seem to go away. Somehow the internet seems to be a garden for these things. The ones that used to die off just keep going, and going, and going. Mary Jo recently posted a blog entry of her own on an urban travel myth that just seems to keep going and going. She has a good recommendation, something that I’ve been doing for years now. Before forwarding any of these email “news” things, or doing any action at all with them, check them out. I have found that most are false. There are a couple of good web sites for checking out urban myths and email hoaxes. One is Urban Legends and Folklore and the other is Snopes. Check both of them out. Sometimes one will catch an urban myth before the other one does. If everyone, or even a large number of people, would check these things out before mindlessly passing them along, then there would be a lot less useless stuff filling up our email inboxes. [...]
