Usually any email that has comments like "scientists forbidden to tell you" and
"What you are about to read, is what the scientists in the United States are not allowed to tell you in great fear of the administration.
They are under the threat of severe repercussions to the max."
Are a HUGE sign that might as well say URBAN LEGEND (or, LIE).
Can you imagine being some scientist and having someone tell you "there will be severe repercussions TO THE MAX"????
What a silly comment!
the second sign that this is junk and a lie is the "please forward to as many people as you can".
The oil leak in the Gulf is a real environmental horror and an enormous tragedy, to be sure, but junk like this doesn't need to be passed around.
(Can you tell that I hate all these types of emails that get passed around forever??)
