Comment: NEVER NEVER NEVER

SHALL

nothing happen.

For whose honor do we praty to live - liver? onions? nothing comes from
nothing come on royal oil.

I AM A BULLET WITH BUTERFLY WINGS.

I AM SUPERMAN

I AM THEREFORE FFASTER THAN A BULLTE W/ BUTRFLY EINGS, WHICH MAKES ME
FASTER THAN MYSELF AND SPEED OF LIGHT AND SOUND IS nothing, nothing,
nothing....

Imagine thise words going in circles, concentric circles b/c if 6 was 9
noone would care if the hippies cut off all there hair and where IS
"there" really, I mean, where it's at, man? Who knows? Who cares? Does
anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?

I don't.

There is nothing to fall from teh skies; nothing to shield our eyes
from the horrors and honors of war that hath befallen us.

None shall pass...

Thank you for your time and listening to my poetry. I have many more
avaiable but they really need to be heard to be understood.

Comment: You have my permission to use my following comments...

I am over the age of 50 and have been drinking Coke ALL MY LIFE! Except
for an occasional RC or Sunny Delight for a quick change of flavor, IT IS
THE ONLY COLA I LIKE AND WILL DRINK.

I hated the so called NEW COKE and changed to Pepsi when I could no
longer buy my regular Coke a Cola...I was furious with Coke for taking
away my favorite drink and boycoted Coke by drinking Pepsi when they came
out with the new coke product...This is probably also a good reason why
there was a new rise in Pepsi.. I know of many people who also switched to
Pepsi to Just To SHOW COKE of their displeaser Of Their Changing Our
FAVORITE DRINK....I contiued to Drink Pepsi until The Coke Classic came on
the market..

Being a Life Time Fan of Coke for so many years, I had noticed the
change in the flavor of Coke over the years...But I still liked it better
then Pepsi....and there's never been any coke better then the flavor that
came from the Tiny ( long ago ) 5 cent bottles of coke
freshly pulled out of an old "ice box" full of large chunks of chiped ice,
setting beside the door of an old time garage/gas station, where you've
stopped to get gas in an old un-aircondioned '57 Desota, on a
hot,"Oklahoma Summer Day " on the way to Granny's House. Unless it was the
same Bottle Of Coke, in the same kind of "ice box " at the little MOM and
POP Country Store that set on the corner of the Old Highway next to the
CHEROKEE INDIAN WEAVERS BUILDING ( where old Cherokee women set and wove
blankets on ancient looms all day) on the old dirt road that lead to my
Granny's little farm. and where I would walk each day to get the same said
nickle bottle of Coke to break the routine of "Country Life"

And all though the Nickle Coke is gone along with the '57 Desota, the
old country store still sets ( now used for storage ) and the Old Indian
Women still weave on ancient looms and my Grannys house still sits though
dying of age, the MEMORY of the old nickle Coke is as " FRESH AND AS CRISP
" as it's flavor once was.

I Only Hope that my last taste of this earth is that of an ICE COLD
COKE. It's how I start each morning and end each day......
........"It's Always COKEACOLA "..........

AND I see no reason to ever change..(unless you come up with another
STUPID IDEA LIKE NEW COKE !!!!!

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

Would it be wrong to let this person know that RC is also a cola?

Comment: It has been said quite often that the classic legend is full of
contradictions, holes, clouds and gray areas and that it is therefore very
hard to still believe in Santa Claus. No wonder, then very important hard
facts were missing.

The true story gives you the plain facts of the matter. It will not turn
you into a mere believer in Santa, it will make you a knower:
someone who simply knows that Santa Claus exists. And you will feel better
for it !

go to my web site and start to feel better NOW !

Comment: Hey,

I'm trying to play a practical joke on a friend of mine, and wonder if
you'd mind helping out.

A snippet from our ICQ session:

[02:54PM] Steve: You know, that's not an entirely bad idea...
[02:54PM] Mark: I've been known to have them occasionally.
[02:54PM] Steve: I thought that was just an urban legend...
[02:54PM] Mark: Nope (check snopes.com -I ain't on there !)

Could you help me out by temporarily putting up an urban legend page about
Mark having good ideas?

Please let me know.

I have seen this picture posted online. They go along with the pictures snopes has on this page. The carcass of a man was found in the bear's den and is assumed to be one of its last meals. My husband heard the hunter interviewed on the Steve and D.C. radio show and found the pic on their website.

WARNING this is extremely NFBSK... Picture of man's half-eaten carcass

ETA: Okay, now I feel silly. I had not seen that page after it had been updated, but the pic I just posted a link to is now on that page. I didn't scroll down the page until after I had finished posting this.

I really don't know who it is that was interviewed on that radio show, since the hunter would obviously know that pic is unrelated to his bear kill. Hmmm.

Comment: Dear Snopes people,

Your site is truely magnificent, very complete and interesting to browse
through. One thing struck me, though. You do not once mention vampires. Do
you not consider vampires urban 'legends'?
I have an offer for you. Mail me some interview questions, and I will get
a TRUE vampire to answer them. Anything goes. No, I am NOT crazy, but
vampires (NOT vampyres, which are RPG-ers) are not what you think.

the english way of writting the date is 11/09/2001
now what you have to do is take each section of the date individually; 11,
then 09 and then 2001.
11) 11=1+1=2. the 2nd letter of the alphabet is B.
09)the 9th letter of the alphabet is I.
2001)this is quite a big number so you have to take it in 2 halves;20 and
01. if you take away the 09 of the date from the 20 of 2001, you get
11.now add the two 1s of the 11 to this and you get 13. finally if you add
the 01 of the second half of 2001 to thayou get 14. the 14th letter of the
alphabet is N.
so out of the numbers of the dat you get B-I-N, as in osama BIN ladem.
i hope you put my 'legend' on the site cause i find it a bit wierd.

OH MY GOD! Why didn't we see this before? This attack could have been prevented---a message from God was right in front of our eyes the whole time!
