Copy and pasting an email with the brackets is poor form, it's very difficult to read.

Here's snopes' version.

I hope you didn't forward that to all your friends, I get seriously pissed off when people randomly forward me their shock and awe emails.

Thanks Gordon My eyes was burning from the first post

Who uses Ether these days anyway?

Antrax is the way things are done these days.

I love snopes

From that article:

No, the scenario described above isn't a real danger. No one has reported having been robbed in this manner, save for one woman in 1999 whose claim was suspect (for reasons we discuss below). This legend doesn't even really describe a plausible scenario because, despite what books and TV shows may depict, rendering a person unconscious from a mere sniff or two of some substance is not easy to do. Ether is nasty, volatile stuff that requires a great deal more than a few brief inhalations to knock a person out. In fact, it's hard to think of any substance that could produce the instant unconsciousness described here.

jaysis is that still happening. i got that email a few years ago, funnily enough it was identical to that above.

naivety rocks

So you're attacked by men with deadly perfume and you wait 3 weeks before warning us all?

Thanks a bunch.

With do people continue to do what e-mails tell them to do?
Some folks are so ****ing gullible it makes me cry.

Jimi-Spandex

Thank you for this valuable contribution.

I feel safer knowing this.



Why do people post this forwarded crap?
