Someone posted a link to this crazyness on a forum. I took it at face value but was still pretty dang sure it was a tempest in a tea pot. I couldn't come right out and say it was a "hoax" but i was pretty dang sure.
I did some internet searching but gave up (not my job). Later someone posted a link to THIS very informative article and dagnabbit I was right all along!
NEVER BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU READ ON THE INTERNET! I tell this to everyone. Family and friends who have no clue. They read it in an email, see it on a web site and never do any research. If you read something CRAZY it isn't automatically true until you can verify the FACTS. I also tell everyone to expecially not believe something that sounds OUTRAGEOUS if it hasn't hit the "mainstream" news. If you read on the internet that a comet smashed into and destroyed Kansas and there is no coverage on the TV... it probably didn't happen.
I had a feeling this issue wasn't as bad as it sounded...
