Comment: i've never even HEARD of a gel candle, but i like candles. how do i know if they're gel or wax? do they look different? how? now you've got me all nervous! and how about gel pens? shall i start an urban legend about them exploding? a while back you had an item about liquids exploding in a microwave, and it indeed IS TRUE. i have twice had a cup of coffee blow up on me. fortunately i didn't get burned, but i had a mess to clean up. both times they blew up while the door was still closed.
my computer is evil. don't send it any attachments. don't open any from it.

Is the red text part of the email?
I think you accidentally received an email from an employee of the Urban Legends Creation Organization to his boss.

Is it just a coincidence that the font name of the red text is "Jokerman"?

Well, the gel candle is gel and the wax candle is wax

Why, shame on you, snopes!!!

So we've gone from gel candles to gel pens to exploding coffee to a possessed computer. The logic is really hanging together well here

Wouldn't it make more sense to look in the back seat first then get into the car?
Also, who else here would pay good money to see this person try jumping to their car from 5 or 6 feet away so the under-the-car ankle slasher doesn't attack?

You just better hope it doesn't want to get rid of you ...
Of course, it may already be too late. In which case, computer screens will be the least of your worries ...

snopes, it's time to initiate Phase 2 of the plan. Unleash the naked mole rats!

The screen needs washing, take it to your bath (use an extension cord if your plug won't reach) and give it a thorough bath.

What a moron. Everyone knows that you look UNDER the car first to make sure no one's going to reach out and slash your ankles.

You guys laugh, but I have personally found a few urban ledgens in my own back seat! Not only are they SCARY, but they also leave big stains behind when you shovel them out... God only KNOWS what one of those things would do if I inadvertently drove off with one still in the car.
I've heard the mountain ledgens aren't quite so disrespectful.

Comment: Mr. Gates, Its been a few years since your last visit to my Kingdom Of Bhutan, may I introduce myself again, although we have met, I am married to the Uncle of His Majesty King Jigme Singhey Wangchuk, and we met at several funtions in your short stay here !! Mr.Gates I have to report the behaviour of your Microsoft Internet Explorer as a whole Entity?? I am sorry to have to bring this to your notice, but even knowing I am from the Royal Family and a Princess ,I have made Hotmail.com my Home-Page since I started using the Computer, but recently am facing open hostility from whoever is in charge ?? Error Reports for no reason at all,No reason for continual shutdowns and deterring me from getting anywhere fast , I have threatened them, and used bad language to try and stir them up to be a friendly- site, but I am knocking on a Brick-Wall!!!! I hear you are pulling out of this tricky Business ?? Could you just have a word with the concerned Parties, because a lot of people, and I know a lot of them are leaving the site for similar reasons they are interfereing with peoples lives, and there is no Privacy anymore , I hope you and Belinda will visit us soon again in Bhutan and I am sorry but this behaviour is so infuriating,and I am sorry for having to worry you , Thank you in advance

Comment: Suddenly I got an 8 page printout from my printer from http://www.snopes.com/info/whatsnew.rss I don't want any rss feeds. And I could find anything on the snopes home page on how to stop it. Or even how to start it.

Wow. I think I work with these people. Well, not these specific people. The ones I'm thinking of would never actually visit snopes.com in the first place.

... when I first came to snopes and read the bit about ankle slashers I would always kick a random can or bottle under the car from several feet away. If it came out the other side it was fine, if I heard an "oww" I went back into the store.
I also found that keeping the back of my car full of empty fastfood bags and assorted boxes helped with keeping killers out of the backseat
