In the last issue of the Anthem Compendium you
read this:
At least once a week, I receive a message
addressed to dozens of folks that warn us about some dire event if
you don't take heed.
These messages almost always contain a phrase emphasizing that the
message is "real" or "legitimate" and that you should send it to
everyone in your address list. Both are clues that it probably
isn't "real."
Naturally, I have now received two that are
really true.
This is a part of the first message:
I had a
wonderful morning, the heating unit went out of my dryer!
Why does everything seem to fall apart this time of year!???
The guy that fixes things went in to the dryer and pulled
out the lint filter. It was clean. We always clean the lint
from the filter after every load of clothes. He told us that
he wanted to show him something. He took the filter over to
the sink and ran hot water over it. Now, this thing is like
a mesh - I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter
looks like - WELL......the hot water just laid on top of the
mesh!!! It didn't go through it at all!!!
Guess what Snopes says on this one?
Claim:
Washing the lint filter in your clothes dryer can help
extend the lifespan of that appliance.
On July 15, MSNBC's "Connected" program
discussed the July 7th London attacks. One of the guests
was Pierre Rehov, a French filmmaker who has filmed six
documentaries on the intifada by going undercover in the
Palestinian areas. Pierre's upcoming film, "Suicide
Killers," is based on interviews that he conducted with
the families of suicide bombers and would-be bombers in an
attempt to find out why they do it. Pierre agreed to a
request for a Q&A interview here about his work on the new
film.
Guess what Snopes says on the
second one?
Claim:
E-mail reproduces interview with documentary filmmaker
Pierre Rehov about the psychology of terrorism.
