    As I was checking my mail today,I received an email with no title to it coming from a friend I hadn't seen in a while.the odd thing was that it weighted 22K.
    A bit surprised I opened it and there was part of a picture which seemed very old(I'd say mid-20's) and a text saying that I had to send this message to 15 ppl I knew within the next 7 days.
    Usually I delete this kind of thing(chain letters...) imediatly,but in this case it didn't say what would happen at the end of those 7 days.
    Now I don't believe in this supernatural BS,but I can't help to wonder if this message didn't contain a virus of some sort that is 'awaken' at the end of the period.I checked my hard drive and nothing seemed wrong with it.
    BTW,I called the girl and she sent it out to 15 ppl no question asked!
    I need u guys to tell me what u think and what I should do...
    And please don't tell me to send it to those 15 ppl,coz I rather be the only one with this problem then involve my friends.

    Hmmm... delete a worthless email or possibly screw up your friends' computers...

    Sounds like a hard decision to me.

    Forward it to me:

    vengeance@typicalsituations.com

    I'll take a look at it when I get home. I'm running Linux so I don't have to worry about those viruses. I'd guess it's not, but you never know . . .

    I always delete those damn foward this to 7 people or else emails.

    Although I'm suprised at some of my friends I get those from sometimes...
