Hey gang-  
Check out this site. You can click a button and help feed hungry people around the world. And according to snopes this is the real deal.

So save it to your bookmarks and go and click on it everyday. If we all do it, it will work better than that christian peoples thing that Sally Struthers is always blathering about. And its much cheaper than a cup of coffee! =)

I could really go for a turkey sandwich and some pie. Can you have it here in about 20 minutes?

Yes, the weather is the same up here. Yes, I play basketball. No, never heard a tall joke before. Aaaargh.

Sorry Frankie. My previous post was not meant as a slam. When opened this thread this is where it pointed. 😮

I found this site yesterday when I was visiting snopes to debunk another stupid chainletter. It’s really neat, even if it does sound like a hoax (which it’s not).

Could I single handedly feed the whole world by repeatedly clicking the button? I know it says you can only do it once a day, but can they really tell that I’ve clicked more than once in a day, even if I turn my cookies off?
