You may have heard of this site, snopes.com, but it's amazing how many myths get forwarded in emails. Stuff about viruses, women being raped at gas stations, applebees giving free money, etc, etc.
I've read that most of these are hoaxes, even ones about children missing! So sad.
So check snopes next time you get something in your inbox!
Thanks for the link. I have finally gotten to looking up all of the forwarding stuff. I usually don't bother with forwarding it because well, it's most likely a hoax
