How about some sort of crazy home remedy?

Washing your face with pineapple juice can clear up acne?

No for girls... washing your face in semen clears up acne, makes your hair shinier and improves the firmness of your breasts. Swallowing it improves your complexion, and help your body release pheromones that make you more attractive to men, and seem more presentable and intelligent to other women.

Might be more interesting to start a 'meme' (or mind virus) rather than a rumour.

Why don't be all use 'pozzed' instead of 'boosted' or 'really excited about something', and wait to see who the first one who hears it back from a civilian IRL?

When youre excited or intense on something, just say 'I'm sooooo POZZED right now!'

The key here is to appeal to greed, a desire for easy money, and an impending deadline. The deadline needs to be upcoming, but neverending. It needs to sound plausible, and it needs to be based on something most people will have heard of. Then spread it to everyone you know via email, who will then spread it forever.

So, here's what could work (though you really, really shouldn't spread it).



At the end of this month, your chance to claim a share of billions in unspent Tobacco Settlement Funds will expire. In 1998, the five major American tobacco companies and all 50 states came to an agreement for the tobacco companies to pay over $320 billion dollars to the states to educate the American public on the dangers of smoking. At the end of the settlement period, any unspent money was to be distributed to citizens of each state, provided they made a claim. The settlement period will end on December 31 of this year and any claims for your share MUST BE MADE BY THE END OF THIS MONTH.

As of the end of 2005, over $120 billion was unspent by the states, and given the current rate of spending, over $75 billion in funds should remain at the end of the settlement period. If only one million people make a claim, that means you could receive $75,000. However, in order to ensure that as many people as possible have a fair chance to recieve these funds, we are offering a 10% bounty for every referral you send us. So if you send us one referral, you could receive an additional $7500 if one million people make a claim. Refer 10 people and you could receive an additional $75,000!!! But you must make your claim and any referrals must make their claim by the end of this month. Any claims made after this point in time will be invalid and unable to collect the unclaimed funds.

To make your claim, please contact the law offices of Ratbastard, Ream, and Mooch, LLP at 314-XXX-XXX with your name and address. Referrals should also leave their referring persons name and address.

Remember, the enrollment period ends at the end of this month. All claims will be mailed after the first of the year.


If I really wanted to be nasty, I'd put in a real lawfirm and phone number, but I'd prefer to avoid the inevitable lawsuit.
