OK... I don't know if anyone ever visits here... but if you do, I'd appreciate it if you could reply to this comment with a myth that has been propagated because of the Internet... Urban (Internet) legends also welcome.

And yes, if you can, please substantiate it with a link as well.

Thanx

And yes, how have you all been?

Congrats dood! Er...which publication are you working for? A story on Internet-propagated myths? Quite a radical idea! :)

Would you want to feature this year's IG Nobel Prize winning Nigerian Entrepreneurs?

This email says that a top executive from Procter and Gamble was on a television talk show such as Sally Jesse Raphael, Phil Donahue, or Jenny Jones and said that he's a Satan worshiper. He says that the profits from P & G go to Satanism and "there aren't enough Christians to stop him." He also goes on to say that the Procter and Gamble logo is that of a wizard and is a part of the influence of Satanism on the company.

Company Appeared on a TV Show to Say that All the Profits from the Company Go to Satanism (http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/p/procterandgamble.htm)

Of course there is also the Moon Truth (http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/moontruth.asp)

Read it all on Snopes (http://www.snopes.com) and Truth or fiction (http://www.truthorficition.com)
