snopes.com: Computers (Virus Hoaxes &Realities)

Rated Dec 06 2008 • 18 reviews • computers, internet, computer security, snopes, malcode • snopes.com

Handy quick reference to computer worms, trojans and other virii which are common nuisances in email spam and on social networking sites.

snopes.com: Dust Off Death

Rated Feb 17 2008 • 2 reviews • substance abuse, huffing, inhalants, urban legends, snopes • snopes.com

Dusted Off

Claim: Adolescents have died from huffing cans of Dust Off brand compressed air.

Status: True
===============================
Friends, please don't get caught up in the semantics of this activity's description. Death doesn't give a damn what It's called. But for all others concerned this is indeed "huffing." The "Dust Off" huffing phenomenon is neither new nor brand/product specific. This Urban Legends article also addresses these points. It is a must-read for parents, educators and all people who are committed to helping youth everywhere stay informed and alive.

snopes.com: The Golden Compass

Rated Nov 27 2007 • 110 reviews • atheist, movies, religion, christianity, snopes • snopes.com

Claim: The 2007 film The Golden Compass is based on a series of books with anti-religious themes.

Status: True.

Excerpted from page: The series author, Phillip Pullman, "left little doubt about his books' intended meanings when he said in a 2003 interview that 'My books are about killing God' and in a 2001 interview that he was 'trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief.'"

=====================================
First, a little clarification:

atheism
2 a: a disbelief in the existence of deity
b: the doctrine that there is no deity

Ergo, it is this generously tolerant and decently educated Unitarian Universalist's opinion that Mr. Pullman reveals through his own statements above (and many others) that he's afflicted by one or more of the following:

◊ misunderstanding of the conventional definition of atheism
◊ personal conflict/confusion within his own (dis)belief system
◊ specific resentment/hatred of Christianity
◊ one or more forms of profound mental illness

Regardless, this parent will be shielding her young children from this entire franchise until such a time should arrive when they are mature enough to safely process this material and form/adapt their own working concepts of spirituality-
if that is their choice.

snopes.com: Hallmark Postcard from a Family Member virus

Rated Oct 24 2007 • 7 reviews • network security, virii, email, snopes • snopes.com

Virus: You've Received a Postcard from a Family Member!

Status: Real Virus

Friends, this alert is making the email rounds again. With the holiday season fast approaching, a little heads-up never hurts. However, if you've gotten one of these well-intentioned notifications via email and are compelled to pass it on, please, please, please DELETE everyone else's email info from these insanely huge mass forwards! And urge your intended recipients to do the same. When people's email info repeatedly falls into unknown hands, everyone's security risks increase exponentially. Thanks.

snopes.com: Lee Iacocca - Where Have All the Leaders Gone?

Rated Jul 23 2007 • 6 reviews • ethics, politics, rants, snopes • snopes.com

"Origins: The... editorial, offering a scathing condemnation of the Bush administration and condemning a lack of strong leadership in the U.S. government, hit our inbox mid-April 2007, attributed to 82-year-old businessman Lee Iacocca (best known for his tenure in the automotive business as the head of Ford and then Chrysler)."

snopes.com: Flyers on Car Windows Carjacking

Rated Jun 09 2007 • 2 reviews • crime, urban legends, snopes • snopes.com

Claim: Parking lot carjackers are placing flyers on the rear windshields of automobiles then taking the cars when drivers step out of their vehicles to remove the flyers.

Status: False.
=======================================
I can't believe this one is making the rounds again. Still, it illustrates a safety risk that many might otherwise take for granted.

For Pete's sake- this crap is still making the rounds! Got the spaz-alert anew from someone here in Fulton County.
Die- die, already!!! What's next? Those damn Mrs. Field's cookie recipes again?!?

snopes.com: Arkansas Razorbacks

Rated Apr 15 2007 • 2 reviews • sports, arkansas, snopes • snopes.com

I stumbled across this image quite by accident while surfing Y! 360 blogs. I'm not normally given to posting visual humor of this nature, but it was too good to pass up. So, in the effort of at least marginal background info, here's the related Urban Legends forum discussion. Legit or not, enjoy! ;oD

snopes.com: Black Panthers and Hillary Clinton

Rated Mar 21 2007 • 1 review • activism, snopes, african americans, crime, urban legends • snopes.com

Another piece of crap from my inbox. This time the bottom of this tripe fest included a blurb stating that our beloved snopes.com verified its truth. I don't give a stinking rat's ass about Hillary. The two-faced harridan is never getting my vote, regardless. I just cannot believe how many people are too damned lazy to double check alleged sources. If nothing more, this should be done to preserve one's personal credibility. **sheesh** /me rolls eyes
