The Netizen

This was interesting.  Criss Angel showed how this worked on one of his shows.

-right, here we go with the old add a famous person's name into a chain letter so people will believe and pass it on trick. I don't watch Criss Angel Mind Freak, but am sure he doesn't read stupid luck chain letters on his show and then beat his chest yelling for all the world to pass them on.

It was still kind of surprising when I checked out several people I knew. Not superstitious, but I need all the luck I can get.

-That's what they all say. No chain letter can bring you good luck. There is no such computer program that will magically give you good luck for spamming your friends with nonsense emails.

              Once you have opened this e-mail, there's no turning back.

-I've seen that vary same phrase cropping up in other chain letters too. Unfortunately there is no turning back once you have hit that forward button, you can't undo the annoyance embarrassment and disappointment you inflicted on your contacts, and the damage to your own reputation  by passing on a chain letter. If only you had taken the time to use your head and decide against passing it on to anyone, but unfortunately you made the wrong decision.

Below are true descriptions of zodiac signs.

-It's fun to look at horoscopes and laugh at how wrong they get it. It's not so fun getting chain letters with generic descriptions of zodiac signs that threaten you with bad luck. Think about it.

Read your sign, and then forward, with your zodiac sign - label on the subject line.

-No.

This is the real deal,

-Oh sure, just like all cats love to swim.

try ignoring or changing it, and the first thing you'll notice is having a horrible day starting tomorrow morning - and it only gets Worse from there.

-What rubbish. I'm proving this thing wrong. Because you wish me ill will and bad luck with this chain letter, I intend to have a very good day once I've seriously changed this thing by putting in my own comments. Starting with a wake up call to my friends and others out there. What sort of twat would actually want to curse their friends with a bad day, and many years of bad luck for ignoring and not forwarding some stupid chain letter? Because that's exactly what you do to your friends every time you pass on this dreck. You do damage to yourself as well, because it's plain that your i q takes a nose dive every time you forward this sort of junk on to anyone.

Remember, if you are on the cusp of another sign you most likely will have features of both signs...which may lead you into total confusion......

-Absolute hornswoggle. As if being born on a certain date determines your personality, come on now. It can't. Neither does it confuse you.

              AQUARIUS - The Sweetheart (Jan 20 - Feb 18)

-Discription nixed.

11 years of bad luck if you do not forward.

-Yeah right, and you'll get asked out on a date by a four-headed camel wearing a dress.

              PISCES - The Dreamer (Feb 19 - Mar 20)

8 years of bad luck if you do not forward.

-And the world is flat.

              ARIES - The Daredevil (Mar 21 - April 19)

-Another mutation of this chain calls Aries - the liar.

16 years of bad luck if you do not forward.

-Wrong.

              TAURUS - The Enduring One (April 20 - May 20)

-Also referred to as Taurus - the tramp.

12 years of bad Luck if you do not forward.

-Or fifteen years of bad luck according to the other version.

              GEMINI - The Chatterbox (May 21 - June 20)

-Or Gemini - the Irresistable.

5 years of bad luck if you do not forward.

-Or nine years according to the other version.

              CANCER - The Protector (June 21 - July 22)

-Or Cancer - the cutie.

16 years of bad luck if you do not forward.

-Or twelve years depending on which mutation of the chain has barged into your inbox.

              LEO - The Boss (July 23 - Aug 22)

-Or Leo - the lion. No kidding.

13 years of bad luck if you do not forward.

-Or seven years according to the other version.

              VIRGO - The Perfectionist (Aug 23 - Sept 22)

-Or Virgo - the one that waits.

7 years of bad luck if you do not forward.

              LIBRA - The Harmonizer (Sept 23 - Oct 22)

9 years of bad luck if you do not forward.

              SCORPIO - The Intense One (Oct 23 - Nov 21)

-Or Scorpio - the addict.

4 years of bad luck if you do not forward.

-It looks like this chain letter originator comes close to liking people with October November birthdays. Compared with the much higher numbers of bad luck years getting wished on other signs, Scorpio gets a light curse.

              SAGITTARIUS - The Happy-Go-Lucky One (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

-Or Sagittarius - the promiscuous one.

14 years of bad luck if you do not forward.

-Or four years according to the one that calls you promiscuous if you have a November December birthday.

              CAPRICORN - The Go-Getter (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

-Or Capricorn - the passionate lover.

20 years of bad luck if you do not forward.

-Or twenty-four years.

-Somebody sure is harbouring ill will against people who are born in December or January. Please, get yourself some help.

Throughout both mutations of this chain letter, phrases are repeated so that one part of a sign's attributes or faults shows up on those of another sign.

-In one mutation the chain letter has Taurus, Leo,, Sagittarius and Capricorn - "loves being in long relationships." Aries, Taurus, Leo, Libra and Sagittarius are all said to be "not one to mess with". The other mutation only lists Scorpio as loving long relationships but says nothing about any of them as not being the one to mess with.

-So what has been done was to borrow the same words and phrases to be used again and again from one chain letter to another, or even to be repeated within the same mutation itself. It's nothing but junk especially with all the bad luck stupidity.

              Send away!!~ Ready .. set............ GO!

-No.

              1-3            people= 1 minute of luck

-I honestly don't understand how anyone past the age of ten believes that. Come on, you're supposed to be adult and you're supposed to be smart. You are sad if you believe forwarding this pile of prattle to a few people can get you a minute of good luck while not forwarding it will give you however many years of bad luck because your birthday just happens to be on a particular date.

              4-7            people= 1 hour of luck

-Malarkey.

              8-12          people = 1day of luck

-Piffling nonsense.

              13-17        People = 1 week of luck

-Garbage.

              18-22        people = 1month of luck

-Bull crap.

              23-27        people = 3 Months of luck

-Nothing but rubbish.

              28-32        people = 7months of luck

-Big lies.

              33-37        people = 1year of luck

-Hogwash. Not only is this chain letter a huge load of rotten potatoes, it's also imbalanced in its good  and bad luck proportions. What it claims is this - the best it can do is give you a year of good luck for spamming as many people as you can with copies of it, while the odds of bad luck for not forwarding it get you a minimum of four years and a maximum of twenty years of bad luck.

The - friend - who sent me this darn thing better tread lightly around me for a while, because I don't take kindly to them wishing me bad luck while telling me to spam everybody as they did. I'm smarter and more considerate than that.
