Can you help?

Comment: My tech instructor said use rockets/bazokas to lay electicity cable across valleys in hill country. However he has been known to 'enhance' the truth to make it more interesting in figuring problems. So is it true or just an intriguing proposal (we didn't believe the one about trained galahs to test resilience of cable sheaths!)

Comment: Hey, I have a good source within Wal-Mart that stated they were sold to three Arab brothers sometime this month or the end of last month and will announce it at the first of the year. Is this an urban legend? Could there be some truth to it. This is my same source that stated to me that they were ending lay-away a month before it happened. Please find out.....

I don't know if you have the power, or who has the power to shut down the people running this scam, but I just received similar emails saying I won $800,000 from the Yahoo! International Lottery. The email address I received this from is claims_agentandrew01@yahoo.co.uk, and dson@aolyahoo lottery . Could you please help me shut these emails down, or direct me to someone who can help me out. Thanks.

The idea that my countrymen consider acts of kindness by American Soldiers towards Iraqis (esp. children) as a possible myth says a lot about our country's character. How sad an pathetic it is that a photo of a American Service man comforting an Iraqi child would even be considered doctored or unreal. Is it so unbelievable? So amazing?
Few of my fellow Americans even elect to serve our great republic but yet look to villainize the men and women that keep them free. You won't find any brain washed killers and you won't find saints either. We are just normal human beings doing our job. I urge snopes.com to remove this slanderous article. American soldiers showing kindness shouldn't be a myth that needs debunking.

No, he's outraged that anybody should even for a moment feel the need to prove it true.
Because, after all, these brave souls are out there risking everything to defend democracy and free sp...oops.

Shoebox, that explains why he would be outraged at people having doubts about the picture itself; the bit I quoted, however, showed outrage at snopes.com for posting an article which shows the military positively. hence the confusion.

Sigh... *bangs head on desk*
The khaki pants thing is NOT a new policy: we were required to wear red shirts and khaki pants when I worked at Target ten years ago. Anyone who's ever paid even a LITTLE bit of attention (or who has even the SLIGHTEST hint of observational skills) when shopping in a Target store would have noticed that this is simply the "uniform." It beats the crap out of those goofy polyester unis that fast food restaurants seem to prefer, and is much neater and more consistent than the Wal-Mart blue smocks worn over regulat street clothes.
Of course, I probably really should find better things to do than get in a work over some internet idiot's email about the policies concerning a place I worked at a decade earlier. I just can't help it, though: blinding stupidity in all of its many forms just bugs the NFBSK out of me, and this story is probably about the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
