    THIS TOOK TWO PAGES OF THE TUESDAY USA TODAY - IT IS FOR REAL

    Subject: PLEEEEEEASE READ!!!! it was on the news!

    To all of my friends, I do not usually forward messages, But this is from my good friend Pearlas Sandborn and she really is an attorney.

    If she says that this will work - It will work. After all, What have you got to lose? SORRY EVERYBODY.. JUST HAD TO TAKE THE CHANCE!!! I'm an attorney, And I know the law. This thing is for real. Rest assured AOL and Intel will follow through with their promises for fear of facing a multimillion-dollar class action suit similar to the one filed by PepsiCo against General Electric not too long ago.

    Dear Friends; Please do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates sharing his fortune. If you ignore this, You will repent later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.

    When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it ( If you are a Microsoft Windows user) For a two weeks time period.

    For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00 For every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, You will be paid $241.00. Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a check.

    I thought this was a scam myself, But two weeks after receiving this e-mail and forwarding it on. Microsoft contacted me for my address and withindays, I receive a check for $24,800.00. You need to respond before the beta testing is over. If anyone can affoard this, Bill gates is the man.

    It's all marketing expense to him. Please forward this to as many people as possible. You are bound to get at least $10,000.00. We're not going to help them out with their e-mail beta test without getting a little something for our time. My brother's girlfriend got in on this a few months ago. When i went to visit him for the Baylor/UT game. She showed me her check. It was for the sum of $4,324.44 and was stamped "Paid in full"

    Like i said before, I know the law, and this is for real.

    Intel and AOL are now discussing a merger which would make them the largest Internet company and in an effort make sure that AOL remains the most widely used program, Intel and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.

    When you forward this e-mail to friends, Intel can and will track it (if you are a Microsoft Windows user) for a two week time period.

    Rolo.

    You have done it. You have discovered how to cause a person pain OVER THE INTERNET.

    What's weirder is that nobody else seems to notice. It's like you are a monster walking through a shopping mall stalking and tormenting me....and the rest of the shoppers go about their business maneuvering past your vile self.

    I don't even have the energy to snopes whatever the fuck you posted.

    Most of us know it is bullshit without bothering with Snopes. I read it for a chuckle, and I appreciate that my relatives don't send me email any longer everytime I see something like it.

    Man people are dumb. If there was really enough heat to pop popcorn from 4 cell phones in 5 seconds don't you think you'd feel something just a little bit warm from holding 1 to your ear for an hour?

    Except that nobody is claiming that the cell phones themselves generate heat; it's (ostensibly) the excitation and subsequent heating up of water molecules due to the radiation, like how a microwave oven works

    of course, that's all moot since it's a hoax, but still

    Geez, really? Frank is a bad man who works for Gamestop and he is mugging people for their newly-purchased copies of SF4 so they can be resold as used games. Because Gamestop's used game business is so morally ambiguous.

    see isn't that so funny

    Microwave ovens heat up the water in whatever you're cooking. There's water in your ears/skin too... therefore if a cell phone can pop popcorn it would burn the SHIT out of your ear, and any other body part it came near ...

    I know, which is why it's clearly fake

    I was taking issue with your statement about "heat from 4 cell phones" which made it sound like the phones itself were generating waves of heat which would be not at all what happens

    But you see I- oh god

    I'm going to sound like Defender if I keep going

    I'll stop, I'm so sorry
