You can't infect something with AIDS. You can't even infect someone with AIDS. It's an ACQUIRED SYNDROME (like the acronym says!) which is acquired through contracting the HIVirus - that which you can infect someone with. You can contaminate something with the HIV though, maybe that's what you meant? You can have HIV without having AIDS...

*is pedantic, but hateses incorrect stuffs*

Meanwhile, methinks that the "ether" email is prolly a hoax, but just in case, people should watch out. And in fairness, it'd have to be a pretty freaking sopping rag to hav enough fumes coming off it to knock you out - and wouldn't it do the same to whoever was holding it?!

MR2GIRLRACER · 30-03-2005 02:32PM

Ok everybody, I apologise. I took the e-mail i was sent seriously, and to be honest i've never even heard of bulk e-mails before.
And because of the fact that i recieved it from a close friend, I thought it must have been true and just felt i had to do something about it.
I'm sorry for wasting your time folks

*Page* · 30-03-2005 02:39PM

aww, it's ok.

We didnt mean to personally attack you... we just cant stand chain mails.
To say sorry, we thought we'd get ya a little gift....

well, when I get it we'll give it to you.... I sent my girlfriend to get it from the statoil last night, but havent seen her since....

So do you think people are dismissing this email too quickly?

LMAO!

Do you really think that if all of that really happened the first you'd hear of it is in an email/ on an internet forum and not on the front page of the Herald/Star/ on Joe Duffy/ Six1 news/ Gerry ****ing Ryan???!

COME ON FFS!

MorningStar · 30-03-2005 03:13PM

I don't think it's OK.

I went on intensive studies of how people on the internet trick newbies. Luckily I was sent an e-mail on how to get a college qualification on the subject. A nice man sent it to me who is in a little financial difficulty releasing funds so I am helping him out and a small benifit to me.

I won i think at the moment 12 different lotterys and 4 of them have the same mailing address!!!

Linoge · 30-03-2005 03:27PM

While we're on the subject....

Did anyone get an email from a "university student" studying spam mail??? She wanted everyone to send on their spam mail to her to see what and how much is floating around the internet. If its a scam to get email addresses I can think of a few easier ways!

Like giving your email address to any of the Clubs and Societies **** who give it to anyone and everyone.

But really. I wonder what "she" is at? Or is this the first ever genuine unsolicited email I've ever received!!!

It was on Gerry Ryan, some time last year some moron rang in to warn people about this.

But did any of you hear about the elderly lady in Italy that was offering people tea on trains and it contained drugs that put the victim to sleep then she would rob them to feed her gambling habbit. Now that one is true.

vibrant · 30-03-2005 05:16PM

While I didn't believe the e-mail, it did mention blokes hanging around the Ilac Centre car park, which is (stating the obvious here) something to be wary of.

I was followed in that car park on my way back to the car one afternoon. Luckily I saw the chaps, made it blindingly obvious that I saw them, and walked past them back into the little pay-area. They obviously felt that they couldn't follow me *again*, so I was able to go back to the car, and I zipped out. The whole thing made me mighty uncomfortable... and put me off the Ilac.

SpAcEd OuT · 30-03-2005 05:37PM

thats complete bull****,this story however is true.........

It was about 3am when the women pulled into the cabinteely petrol station along the dual carrigeway,she was on her own and the place was completely deserted.She got out and went up to shop,the shop was shut apart from the glass box where you could talk to the shop keeper.She asked him for some smokes and he asked her are you travelling alone

she replied yes why

he replied dont turn around but a man has just jumped into the back of your car with a hammer and a rope

she asked him to open the shutters to let her in

he told her he had pressed the emergency button and that by the time he would be able to open the shutters the gardai would already be there so there was no point,so she waited there out on our own in the dark for 3minutes waiting for the gardai to arrive.

they evantually did and the man was arrested

pretty fukin scary and if anyone knows the station its completely ioscalated beside a big field.

SO BE WARNED~! :eek:

Are you sure the attendant didn't follow her, all the way home, in a car, flashing his lights as he went? :rolleyes:

Sir James Young Simpson, a Scottish physician, was no stranger to anesthesiology. In 1847, he brought ether into the realm of obstetrics but found that its odor and the large amount needed to induce unconsciousness made it impractical as an anesthetic.

Ether , impractical as an anesthetic since 1847 :rolleyes:
you wouldn't get someone unconcious from the ether off a laminated sheet, as an aside 'bout a century ago people here were drinking ether because of a clamp down on poteen (tip - if you imbibe don't belch near an open fire)

Oh, I thought that you were doing it on purpose... If not, then sorry about the 'tone' of my post. I hate chain mails, and the people who put them out deliberately. However, no problems if you didn't realise. The way you said in your mail that you knew the girl etc.. is what made me think you were trying to start an Irish chain mail. Sorry for being a bit heavy.

It's just, it's bad publicity for us travelling perfume salesmen.

I don't know about anyone else out there, but my biggest fear ISN'T being asked to smell perfume at a parking lot.

Although I've heard perfume is flammable, yet another danger to watch out for. Think of the damage that could be done with a single misplaced match.....

Yes, after reading everyone's replies I'm thinking the whole story is complete bull**** myself....
I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to message boards and e-mails, whole net scene in general, so again, I do apologise

And I actually live quite near that gas station your talking about and heard that story i'd say a couple wks ago...
Pretty damn scary indeed

Good thing the attendent was being attentive.

OLDYELLAR · 30-03-2005 11:08PM

I heard abouth that petrol station thing happening in waterford so i put it up in the waterford forum asking was it true and it was sent to the recycle bin because it sounded too much like an urban legend , creepy!

You’d have to take a fairly large sized handkerchief, douse it with Ether, and then take at least a dozen snorts for you to pass out completely from it.

Having said that, I was stopped by a car that pulled over on Kildare St. a few Saturdays ago around midday. The guy was foreign and was asking directions to the Airport. Fair enough.

However he then produced a business card and said that he was attending a convention for clothes, or something, and had a load of samples on the seat next to him that he wanted to sell rather than having to take home. He was polite, but fairly pushy.

Something make me a little suspicious – I don’t know whether it’s the fact that the car didn’t look new or clean enough to be a rental car and his business card looked a little shoddy.

Did this happen to anyone else? It just seemed a little dodgy to me.

Yeah. I ran into a similar scam in Rome about 2 years ago.

No, but he invited me in the car to stroke his puppy...or maybe to spank his monkey? I can't remember, must have been the Ether.

Sparky · 31-03-2005 05:34AM

This stuff reminds me of the german guy that fell into a food muncher and got canned into dog food but still lived to chain e-mail his story all over the world on how not to operate machinary when drunk while trying to read a paper while balancing on your left leg

On the serious side of things someone could impliment a virus into these e-mails.
or could of being created by a virus creator.

bagocans · 31-03-2005 01:32PM

Watch out everyone, there's also a hot air balloon going around the country abducting women, you'll never even hear it coming, always keep looking up at the sky,............ always, please, for the love of God be careful everyone
