The 7 foot 4 inch woman is an internet hoax??? Did you get burned too?

[eeyore]

Okay, so I got this e-mail from my mechanic claiming that the world's tallest woman is 7'4", weighs 320 pounds, and lives in Holland.

Here's what she supposedly looks like. But it's all a damn hoax and I nearly sent it out to a few friends. Damn her and her giant hoaxy ways! :cry:

Here's the snopes debunk. http://www.snopes.com/photos/tallwoman.asp

1. Chain mails..

have become my pet peeve... I check most on Snopes as soon as I get them, some I just delete.

btw - I do have a ship coming in soon. Seems a friend of a prince in Niger would like to split $500 mil with me as long as I give them my checking account. I do intend to keep up my charitable contibutions however and keep forwarding the e-mail about the girl that needs a kidney so she gets 2 cents for every time I send it out.

2. Just wondering....

How do they know you forward the email so they get 2 cents?

3. well....

I just have faith that there is some kind of cyber-tracking system that does keep track and...

oh I don't know... as soon as Microsoft sends me my check for forwarding their e-mails in regards to the beta version of something they have out.... I'll probably have a better idea of how it all works and let you know.
