Reference the FAQ from the URL you provided for more details that this is not true (see #10):

This does get around a lot.

Shoot, I found this on another (non-racing) board I post on and thought it was true. I guess the OP was just yanking all our chains. Silly me.

Sorry about that.

No biggie, Sam.

I would bookmark the snopes.com site..there's lots of shit floating around out there..and unfortunately..it seems that 79% of it is untrue. Snopes does the research for ya.

Sorry about that.

I think you'll find that at least 75% of the stuff that gets circulated is not true, or a distortion of the truth.

Urban Legends Reference Pages is another site that you can check before sending/posting things. just key in some key words in the search box in the upper right corner. Sometimes you have to try a few words or a name.

It's a good habit to go back to whomever/wherever you got the hoax from and provide them with a link .... hopefully people will check stuff out before passing along on the internet.

Even better, I've found that after I've sent links to the "passers of stuff" that debunks their "vital news or information" a few times, they quit passing this junk along to me because they'd rather buy into all this stuff, and I keep raining on their parade. It's a win/win. I don't have to read that nonsense any more, and they can still go on passing along their "National Enquirer Of The Internet" stuff to people who actually give a rip.
