Taxing email. Oh yeah. Or modems, for that matter. Bill gates tracking email. Disney's son chain letter, good times, virus, all the viruses (not virii!!) really. um...getting .07 for every email sent to the natl cancer society... all sorts of urban legends, from ice baths w/kidney theft to kangaroo in McDonald's burgers... cake recipe bills, all sorts of stuff...

nothing is sweeter than sending the person who sent you the hoax email the proof that their stupidity is apparent. this is a great resource for putting out those hoax fires.
