Someone posted this Internet Story making the rounds at work. Underneath, was posted the fact that this is another made up story. And there were contributions by most of the "no contributions." I would guess that some Marketing exec somewhere knows the power of internet rumors and how hard it is to stop them. Throw a "credible" source like CNN in for a quote - and watch it grow. Anyways...check all emails for validity. If it says, pass it on, be wary!
