snopes saved my marriage and my donkey

Legend: More people are killed annually by donkeys than die in commercial airline crashes.

Yes, but is this donkey-to-airplane comparison true? No one could possibly say, because while data about airplane crashes is readily available, we have yet to find so much as a single source for donkey-induced death statistics. (This fanciful comparison certainly vexes donkey lovers though, as evidenced by the vehement denial of it in the FAQ on the American Donkey and Mule Society's web site.)

http://www.lovelongears.com/faq.html

"I saw this statement on the internet that "More People are killed by donkeys that in airline crashes each year. Now my spouse doesn't want me to get a donkey! Is this true? Help!"

NO, this statement has been plagueing us for several years now. It first appeared somewhere as a "factoid", but it, along with several others on that list, is TOTALLY FALSE. We have absolutely NO IDEA where they got the so -called fact to base this rumor on. Perhaps third-world countries where donkeys are common and plane transport is not???? We often hear of people being INJURED by their donkeys, but can't yet name one case where someone in the USA was killed by a donkey-and there have certainly been hundreds of people killed each year in plane crashes. You'd think that several hundred people killed by donkeys each year would be publicized better somewhere OTHER than a "factoid sheet". People contact the ADMS for all sorts of reasons, but having searched the archives, we cannot find any notices of members or people killed by a donkey. (In Nov 2005 we found one headline of a man in Egypt being killed by his donkey - he had beaten the animal and it savaged him.) In truth more people are bitten by their family dog! Help us to dispell this awful rumor-mill factoid - it's not true, it's bunk, treat it as such. Please don't let this statement stop you from getting a donkey or any other animal if you wish to own one!

Sadly, most of my co-workers stopped sending me things because it was always crap that was false on Snopes. Then again, it was just spam to me anyway.

The thread is locked, so the quotes aren't tagged. All quotes are pontifex from this thread. .

so you know 100% that we landed on the moon? you were there?
or do you just take the government's word on everything?

Obviously he's a conspiracy theorist who thinks we didn't land on the moon.

and i'll say it again, no one in any forum will read what you type. they'll all believe what they want to believe and put words in your mouth.

So he's getting owned in the thread and tries to slink out of the statement.

please quote where i said "I don't think we landed on the moon"
go ahead. i'll give you $100 if you can quote it.

Heh, sounds like a challenge... pinion9 was up for it.

oh, whats wrong? you can't find it can you? why? because thats what your stupid little minds made up and believed.

no wonder americans are so stupid, they blindly believe everything they're told and don't think or question anything.

So, he did say it in another thread (bold is pontifex). Owned left and right.

Now, that brings us to this thread. Why the hell am I bringing this up? I guess most of you can see, but not pontifex... Nope, he's up for another serving of Self-ownage 2006. Thank you sir, may I have another?

Snopes on the moon landing.
