That's a scary thought

Just a random thing I thought you might need to know. I might need a pair of Gary's eyes to look out for any of these suspicious candies .

Wow, that article made me want them more, and now I feel bad. I am messed up.

Here ya go Kevin (anything for a good cause).

Good find Simon, I was getting worried for a moment. Thanks for the eyes Gary .

No tragedy, but like all myths, it's supposed to teach a lesson.

I've learned to never believe that type of chain email, I've never had one case where it didn't turn out to be some kind of hoax.

I have the same feeling, you can recognize these types of emails by a sentence like 'Pass this email on to as many people as you can'... Don't know what they want to accomplish by sending these mails.
