I'm still gettting the email forward about Mars

[Wallydraigle]

In August 2003 Mars was the closest it's ever been to earth in a long ass time. It was a big deal at the time, and naturally there was an email forward about it. I seriously don't know why this email is still around, because the people sending it obviously don't know what's going on, or care to find out. They didn't go out and look at it when it really happened, or else they would remember it from the first time, so they wouldn't go out and see it now either. Most of them probably don't know what Mars looks like or how to find it. I'd go so far as to say that the vast majority of them have never consciously seen mars at all. They just mindlessly click send because they feel the hive would want them to.

If only people would put the date, and not just "August" on these things this would never have to happen.

Am I the only one getting this still?

I already knew that

What's sad about it is that the guy I got it from used to be a college professor and should know better.

That's not as bad as the chain letters that go around myspace telling you that you are going to die in a horrible accident if you don't send the message. OMG OH TEH NOES I MUST SEND!!!1111 :roll:

You're not the only one getting that, though I must admit to being ignorant. I've gotten three of those emails- and thought that it was THIS august! DOH. GMTP = pwned
