snopes.com: Dust Off Death

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.

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

snopes.com: Andy Rooney on Older Women
Rated • 1 review • aging, women, urban legends, snopes • snopes.com
Just for the record, 60 Minutes commentator Andy Rooney did not write an essay 'In Praise of Older Women.' Aside from the rundown of this rumors' origins, Mr. Rooney is too uptight to attempt a humorous sexually oriented word play. Here, sir. Let's see if this complimentary plate of Mountain Oysters Rockefeller will help...
