Please, *please* check out websites such as urbanlegends.com before sending

This is *not* true. Procter & Gamble has, in fact, sued over the forwarding
of such messages...
The last such suit involved the Amway corporation (because one of their

that Amway was *actively* involved in squelching the rumor.
For further information, check out a few of these web sites, which took all
