    Wow, Microsoft uses hotmail for their official email addresses? This just might be legit..
  • scrubblescrubble November 2007
    i was so hopeful i'd get $50 out of this.
  • PotatoPotato November 2007
    the punctuation and other sorts of spelling/grammar what-nots are horrible
  • Black+BalloonBlack Balloon November 2007
    I wonder how little regard these people have for even an average man's intellect. It's astoundingly stupid, it nearly drives me to tears when combined with current world politics.
  • ErlingErling November 2007
    It works sadly.
  • romerashromerash November 2007
    what erling said, you'd be surprised on how many people will actually believe this, look at all the chain emails going around, OMG IF I DONT SEND THIS TO 400 PEOPLE A PIANO WILL FALL ON ME
  • dandan November 2007
    You laugh, but my uncle was killed by a piano after he didn't forward one of those messages. YOU BETTER DO AS THEY SAY!
