    i don't have a gold ring but the scientist in me would love to conduct that experiment.

    the next thing you will be telling me is that lipstick is made of whale fat!

    Sorry

    I love makeup, and was freaking out over the e-mail. I've never heard of Snopes before.

    It irritates me when people get all alarmist without double-checking or cross-referencing. So you had never heard of Snopes, but have you ever heard of "Red Earth" before? And isn't it common knowledge that lead causes lead poisoning, not cancer?


    Sorry, I'm not trying to be a shit. It's just that lately, SW feels like AOL circa 1997, when everyone got in a forwarding frenzy and spam/scaremongering became a national pasttime.

    Yeah, thanks for the warning (sincerely) but you can pretty much bet anything that comes from an email forward or myspace bulletin is a load of crap.

    I really wonder who makes up this shit and enjoys getting gullible people's hear rates up.
    Order Avon through my website!

    Hmm... we're supposed to be helping each other out not be-littling my faux pas. So I learned about Snopes. I was just forwarding what I recieved, I guess I didn't put much thought into it. I'm posting a message on a community board, mainly full of opinions, not writing research.

    However, will be sure not to alarm next time.

    I'm not mad at you

    I'm not really mad period. I just made a posting about a forward I got. There have been posts about makeup being harmful, and thought the e-mail might be one of them.
