Subject: RE: BS: Ring Around the Facts - Create-a-History
Cluin, that's WAY too close to believable for some!

Martin, there are gullible people all over. Some don't get humor in any form and think someone's angry when they're being funny. Some just believe that guy in Nigeria really wants to give them a few million, that cell phones really make petrol tanks blow up, because "it sounds right." They may drive you (and me) crazy, but they undoubtedly suffer a lot because of their gullibility.

If 'tall tales' aren't allowed, there's a whole genre out the window. Kendall Morse (for one) will be in a lot of trouble. Jokes may be illegal, because many depend on a fake set up. If this thread manages to launch a new urban legend, you can also use this thread to prove it's complete bollocks.

WYS, are you talking about the song 'Darcy Farrow'?
