I received this today:

"Two Moons -

Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August 27th. It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.
This will happen because Mars comes within 34.65M miles of earth.
Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am.
It will look like the earth has 2 moons.
The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.
No one alive today will ever see it again."

Not me. Every time I get an informational or forward type email I immediately assume it's false and go about trying to find evidence against it. :o It's like a challenge! Of course this means I don't even get these emails much anymore because everyone is probably sick of me sending them links to Snopes, etc................

I don't mind the little things, it's when you get the message, "DON'T click on this, if you do you'll get a virus, your computer will crash and your first-born is doomed to fail pre-school! Send this to EVERYONE you know!" Then I start sending the, "That is an urban legend" messages. :)
