  ------- Forwarded foolishness follows -------

There is a computer virus that is being sent across the Internet.

If you receive an e-mail message with the subject line "Free Money," DO
NOT read the message.  DELETE it immediately, UNPLUG your computer, then
BURN IT to ASHES in a government-approved toxic waste disposal
INCINERATOR.

Once a computer is infected, it will be TOO LATE.  

Your computer will begin to emit a vile ODOUR.  Then it will secrete a
foul, milky DISCHARGE.  Verily, it shall SCREECH with the tortured,
monitor-shattering SCREAM of 1,000 hell-scorched souls, drawing unwanted
attention to your cubicle from co-workers and supervisors alike.  

After violently ripping itself from the wall, your computer will punch
through your office window as it STREAKS into the night, HOWLING like a
BANSHEE.  Once free, it will spend the rest of its days TORTURING
household PETS and MOCKING the POPE.

Some filthy, disgusting miscreant ... some no-good, low-down, good-for-
nothing DIRTY SNAKE, in twisted pursuit of her own sadistic dreams, is
sending this virus across the Net via an e-mail entitled "Free Money."  

What is so terrifying about this virus is that you do not even to have
to open the e-mail for it to activate.  In fact, you do not even need to
RECEIVE the e-mail.  You do not even need to OWN a COMPUTER.  "Free
Money" can infect even minor HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES.

How it does this with straight ASCII code is, frankly, a matter of some
debate ... but BELIEVE YOU US, if this weren't a SERIOUS situation, we
wouldn't be discussing it in ALL CAPS.

So for the LOVE OF GOD, forward this e-mail to all those you claim to
care about, all those you purport to love. Don't do it later! Do it NOW!
Now! Now! NOW! NOW! NOW!
