That's the first thing I thought of after I read this from the article:"David, the resident expert on Coca-Cola, the Beatles, Disney, and sports, occasionally tries to make up a rumor, like the one he attempted to spread that Mr. Ed was actually a zebra."
I've been trying to get my Grandma to hit up snopes before forwarding but she still refuses to. In fact, she has just stopped sending me e-mails because every time I got one I would just send the correlating snopes link to everyone she had just sent the mail to.
@Kidtuf "In fact, she has just stopped sending me e-mails..." Bravo - you won! I, OTOH, have yet to get 2 co-workers, >3 relatives, and 1 acquaintance from HS who thinks we're friends to stop sending me that crap.
