You know what people do when they're bored? They send people things like this (these were real emails I got from my friend):
Email 1: "Joe was a peaceful man, until he got cancer. If you do not forward this to 7862 different animals, then you will fart by the end of the week."
Email 2: "There once was a man named Bob. He lived until age 46, when he died in World War Two. If you do not forward this message to 472 people, someone will say "Hi" to you by the end of the week."
Email 3: "There once was a girl named Joe, she died a natural death, if you don't forward this email to 13 ½ other people, chicken nuggets will be served at your school by the end of the week."
