Rejected. OLD Urban Legend.

I'm amazed this old chestnut is still floating around. It's been shown to be a hoax since June of 2004 at least.

Snopes report on this one

Okay, position reconsidered.

Based on overwhelming public requests that this be promoted, I will let you decide if you want this promoted.

HOWEVER:

I still feel that part of our duties as Admins is to shelter and protect the more gullible members at EvC. This is a hoax and is actually from a parody site. If you still want this promoted, just respond and I'll send it on. If you wish it to remain closed, that too can be done. Just respond letting me know what you want us to do.
