If you're like me, you're probably sick of getting e-mail from all your friends and family, with urgent warnings about butt-biting spiders, cockroach-egg infested envelope glue, shopping mall murderers, HIV-infected needles in movie seats and free clothes from the GAP.

In fact, I am so sick of getting this e-mail that I've decided to have some fun of my own. Let's call them… my urban legends of the future.

Make sure you copy and paste them into e-mail for all your friends and family that just don't understand the concept of an urban legend. (Just be sure you cut this part out!)

My goal is to have my urban legends show up on the urban legends website. You might want to also include that link at the end of your e-mail for all those stubborn family and friends that need to buy a clue.

I hope you enjoy them... Please remember, these are not real. M'kay?!

WATER FOUNTAIN VIRUS

Please send this to everyone you care about!

There is a group of people going around putting hidden filters over the opening of water fountains. The filters contain a virus called physillius, which contaminates the water coming out.

A student drinking from a water fountain is feeling the wrath of physillius!

The virus affects your digestive system, causing diarrhea and/or bloody stools in those infected.

This virus has already killed 2 people in the U.S.

Water fountains in highly populated areas, like colleges and malls, are being targeted.

Make sure you send this to everyone in your address book to try to spread the word and avoid water fountains!!!

FITTING ROOM STRANGLER

Please send this to all the women you know and care about!!!

There is a man that is stalking women in department stores and strangling them in a fitting room.

He finds his target, a woman shopping by herself, and then proceeds to ask her if she would mind trying on a shirt he's thinking of getting his girlfriend. When she enters the dressing room, he follows. He then grabs and strangles her before she can call for help.

He is well practiced and very quick, so he is able to flee the scene without getting caught.

The women don't feel threatened by him since he tells them he has a girlfriend.
The man has strangled women in department stores in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina.

He is described as being of average height and weight, with short brown hair and a tattoo of Madonna on his right forearm. He is also missing part of his left index finger.

Please be careful!!! Don't fall for this scam!

The women who refused to try on the shirt escaped unharmed.

Make sure you tell all your women friends about this! Be careful!!!

SABOTAGED UNDERWARE

Women beware!!!

There is a group of people claiming to work for a lingerie company named "Toupo P. Stit." They market their products, bras and panties, to stores all over the country. Most stores that carry lingerie have picked up the "Toupo P. Stit" line and sell the products.

However, the problem comes after you make the purchase and wear your new bra or panties for the first time…

Uh oh!

There have been several incidents where women have been wearing the garments when they split, break or pop open, leaving them exposed under their clothes! One woman was wearing a "Toupo P. Stit" bra under her white blouse when she was socializing at her company's party, when about half way through the evening her bra snapped and broke open in the front, leaving all eyes on her chest, which could be seen through her white blouse!

It seems the "Toupo P. Stit" manufacturer thought it would be funny to, pardon the pun, make boobs out of women. The Department of Apparel and Consumer Products has been investigating "Toupo P. Stit" for the past year. The DACP has currently halted any further production of the products pending a full investigation. Several women have filed lawsuits against "Toupo P. Stit."

Make sure you send this to your mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, friends and any women you know! Don't let them be the next one exposed!!!
