Idiot boy at work sent it around today. I sent him the snopes link, and he wouldn’t read it.

So I printed the page, and taped it to his computer screen when he went to lunch. He swears that it’s true, and that it was written in 1651. I sent him excerpts from three sites, along with links, that stated that N. died in 1566. He refuses to believe.

If I didn’t work with him, I’d have routed all mail from him to my deleted items folder long ago.

I’m listening to my coworker directing his daughter to the snopes site… I’m so proud of me - I e-mailed the links to him and he’s sharing them far and wide. A bit more ignorance bites the dust!

Dear Lord. My mother sent me this.  
I copied and pasted your post, **Johnny**. She said “Oh, ok. That came from Yahoo.”

My mommy, the glurge queen.

I’ve been doing my part…cut and paste the Snopes account…and providing the link.

HELP: I have also been rebutting the “11” numerology tale…but I would like something better (than what I made) to show how dumb numerology is.  
Anyone!?
