There's a sucker getting online every minute

A friend of mine just forwarded a list of supposed true facts to me. I don't even want to post them here because God knows someone will just see that they are here and assume they are true. I guess all you have to do is say something is true and someone will believe it and forward it on to someone else. Here is a quick recap of my response:

Ostriches never stick their heads in the sand.

Babies are born with kneecaps. How would they walk if they didn't have a patella?

Of course Alfred Hitchcock had a belly button. If he didn't he wouldn't have had an umbilical cord and he would have died as a fetus.

The thing about eating spiders in your sleep is just stupid and inane. How on earth would anyone know that? Is there someone testing people for spider parts when they wake up in the morning? Don't you think you would wake up if something crawled into your mouth?

What's frightening is a quick google search shows this crap all over the web. Don't people think?
