Fans of the American shock rock band Slipknot (a band that makes KISS look like Pat Boone) wanted to e-mail their idols, so they sent fawning e-pistles to what they thought was the band's e-mail address. But the e-mails ended up about 180 degrees off the mark -- in the inbox of a ladies' knitting circle in the U.K.! When the fans found out the recipients were more into hemming than headbanging, they bombarded the nice ladies with a nastier batch of e-mails telling them to get their darned selves off the Web. That must've made the poor knitters spill their tea! Hope nobody in Slipknot splits their pants while they're touring the U.K. Source: (Reuters) http://www.reuters.com/news_article.jhtml?type=internetnews&StoryID=915627 >> RECENT MISSING LINK stories you may enjoy: http://search400.techtarget.com/bestWebLinks/0,289521,sid3_tax292189,00.html ___________________________________________________________________ *********************SEARCH400 CONTACTS**************************** MICHELLE DAVIDSON, site editor (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send us your story ideas and best practices.
