This will shock some people, others will doubt my words.

OK, once and for all. Hell, Michigan is a REAL town. The poor residents get a slew of calls from wise ass "Gee this wold be funny" JDs who call the town all winter long asking if Hell froze over. (It's in Michigan, it always does) I've know about the place for as long as I can remember, as I grew up in Michigan.

The town has a web site at www.

Dude. Learn something new everyday. I didn't know the lemming scene was faked. Seems like a hell of a lot of work to make something up. Stupid Disney.

Yep.

Sorry about any hostility conveyed in the text. I'd been set off by hearing a long session of "Alaska sux cuz it's a block of ice," started writing and got on a roll.

I'm well aware of the fact that most New England residents know the majority of the things I mentioned. Lots of people have been taken in by the e-mail hoax. I was just frustrated that no one believed it was a hoax when I told them, and showed them the post office page saying it was a hoax.

That, and most people don't know the Lemming thing was a hoax, or that Disney faked a nature documentary to imbed it in the American consciousness. The last one scares me a little bit, as it shows just how powerful the media is, and how easily people believe what they are told.

I know people who to this day think the original Blair Witch movie was real, and are horrified at the way that "they're making money off dead teenagers. It's criminal and a sin."

When I read the post, my first reaction was, "You really need to stop hanging around ignorant people." But then I just read your last comment. And I still thought to myself, "gee, you REALLY need to stop hanging around ignorant people."

I don't hang out with ignorant people.

I work with them.

And it's an education company.

Wow. Are people here really that misinformed? That's kinda sad.
