Sounds most unlikely. Where did you see it?

[6th Gear]

That's what I thought. My wife received it via email from one of her friends this morning.

[dudleybloke]

sounds like crap to me.
its worded exactly like the other various scaremails that go around.

One of those urban legends that does the rounds every now and then. I wouldn't worry too much.

Why would anyone bother to make up a load of rubbish? I mean, for what benefit??!!

These stemails make up 50% of internet traffic, I'm amazed at people who believe it, and then get annoyed with me when I reply with a Snopes.com link.

same here. my mum forwards them onto me and I reply all with snopes. I've already been told off for insulting her friends...

[Hitch78]

Thankfully nobody I know would send me such st. Being known as cantankerous has some benefits!

Deleted. Next time I won't be such a fool and believe things.

there was a piece in the gulf news about it - it was bogus.

I think you're being hard on yourslef. If I hadn't read the replies on here, I'd have warned the Mrs to keep an eye out.
