Some truth in the Hotfail chain letters!!!
 
there is SOME truth in those annoying chain letters that tell you that Hotmail's gonna start charging $25!!! *gasp* - truth in a chain letter? - i said SOME - actually, i think it's half-based on A truth
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/et?ac=006.../ecnmsh01.html

:

In the US, Microsoft has started offering Hotmail users an additional 8Mb (megabytes) of storage space for email for $12.95 (£9.25) a year.
to all the people who've continued chain e-mails (i'm not saying your name, Abe22, ooops!):
IT WILL ONLY COST MONEY IF YOU WANT MORE SPACE FOR EMAILS...

Oh my god, I HATE FORWARDS!!! "Send this to 20 people or you will have bad luck. If you delete this, you will die!" I just delete them. They piss me off. "Send this to 25 people, and you'll get $2,000 from The Outback Steakhouse!"

Every single forward ever made is 100% BULLSH!T. NEVER BELIEVE A FORWARD.

To be honest, I don't think there was any truth in this one after all, since most email services offer a bigger inbox for money anyway. Yahell always has, and I'm fairly sure Hotfail has too...

heh, i just got one saying to foreward it to 5 people in 5 minutes and my wish would come true...it said that, as proof, that my phone would ring as soon as i had finished reading the email...
hmmm...does that mean that by the time i've finished it i will get an extra land line or a mobile?

- funny!

I just got one from a certain intern I won't mention that said if I didn't forward it to 15 people the probability of me being killed by an Elephant would rise by 2000%. I definetly deleated it and-CRASH!!!STAMPEDE!!-
Edit: Now that I've found out who started this particular forward, I can relieve Joe of his shame and move it to another 'Schmuck'
