  Is this for real? Smells kind of fishy to me.

  I got a free diaper sample in the mail about a week ago. Should I smell it?

  Even more important than reading this would be to check to see if this is an urban legend before spreading it even further. Please verify the source of these sort of things before posting it to a discussion group or emailing it to others. It sounds like your land lord is a gullible idiot who will believe anything.

  If this really were true the media would be all over it. They've made much bigger deals over much smaller things.

  It's True!!!!

  I just got an email saying not to drink pepsi and eat poprocks or your stomach will explode. The government fears poprocks were originally created by the Al Qaida in an attempt to target American children.

  JC ...perhaps you are the gullible one if you believe everything the media says.

  I don't think its necessary to "have proof" Let people decide if they want to play it safe or not.

  I think if this were real, the government would be going national and warn everyone about the dangers........I mean, come on, they "don't want to create a panic"?? What, they'd rather have a ton of dead people on their hands?? They certainly warned everyone to be careful about opening packages when the Anthrax scare was at it's height..........

  My aunt worked for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and she says that things like this are true. Similiar occurances have happened in malls where men approach you with perfume and tell you it is tops quality and cheap, however it is a rousse to get you and kidnap you and do unmentionable things to you. Please believe this. She wouldn't make it up she worked for them for 18 years.

  Love Orangefatcat.

  Really, it sounds like an UL or FOAF.

  FOAF= Friend of a friend (told me.......)

  No names, dates or other information that can be traced.
