GEEE JUST THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING READING 
Hey, not knockin' ya for posting it. They were interesting the first time around. I guess I got bored one day and started questioning them. That's when I started looking them up. Unfortunately, as Jay says, you have to be careful with these types of email because of viruses and what not. As many times as I have gotten it, though, I've never gotten one.
The one that really got me was the email warning that went around about the mulch that was coming from post Katrina clean up that would spread some termite. That one was totally false and easily disproved with a quick google search. So, this one was harmless, but some of them out there that get passed around aren't always.
Oh, and watch out for AMBER ALERTS that go out in emails. Most of those are false, too. Don't know why they get sent, but I've gotten a few. You can verify them online.
THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT.... No problem. i'm always willing to help replace falsehoods with knowledge if i'm aware of the proper info. in this case i did learn something as i was aware of the program in Russia to domesticate the fox but wasn't aware that it had already been done till i looke it up. 
be very careful of these emails that have been flooding mail servers driving sysadmins crazy for years. they're usually b.s. not to mention technically a virus. (one person gets it, sends it ten etc, and then each of them resend it to more so it grows and grows and ten years later we're still hearing how there's been no animals domesticated in the past ten million years.)
