EMAIL HOAX: "Science Fair project" chain letter ~Silver Tipped Iris~

  Author:  29216  Category:(Interesting) Created:(4/18/2002 6:48:00 PM)

Ok, many of you have recieved an email stating that this school in Los Angeles, California has a teacher who is conducting a science fair project with his/her students. They want to see how far information on the internet spreads by the Fair in May. They want you to forward this email to all who are in your address book, and to a supposed address of the teacher.

well, my beloved brother-in-law came up with this logical reasons why this might (is a) be a hoax. Gosh, I love a logical thinker. For the record, I'd already deleted the email before he gave me these thoughts to ponder:

"Before any of you send this "science project" to everyone in your address books, consider a few questions.

1) Why didn't the science teacher include his/her name, or the name of the school in Los Angeles?

2) If the unnamed original sender of the e-mail is indeed a teacher, wouldn't he/she be able to think of a better science project than sending a spam chain letter?

3) If the unnamed sender is a real teacher, and this is a real science project, then why didn't he/she give an e-mail address/web page so that we could find out more about the science project?

===============================================================

just something to think about!

How it changed my life:

I HATE CHAIN MAIL!!!!! IT IS EVIL!!!! *why are munchkins dancing around me?*

Date: 4/18/2002 11:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 37872    Yeah, chain mail sucks. Besides, what a silly experiment. If you think about it, distance has no meaning on the net, the first person who sent it could have had an email address from someone in China. A better one would be to see how many people recieved it and sent it, but how could you possibly track that?  
Date: 4/18/2002 11:43:00 PM  From Authorid: 277    Reminds me of the stupid lost children emails I get. The ones with a pic enclosed but it doesn't say where child was abducted from or parents names or anything. Then they have a # at the bottom with a persons name different from the kids last name. They're on snopes2.com All hoaxes withoput this info. The science project is probably there too. People are so gullible. Apparently your brother in law isn't.
