Hawaiian Store Clerks Dies From Rat Urine - Not

"You can catch a fatal disease by drinking from soda cans that have been contaminated with rat urine."

This hoax is making the rounds (again). I just got an email from our contientious day care provider, who I believe was forwarded the hoax email from a concerned parent.

One of the first rules of email ettiquette should be to beware of any email that says anything to the effect of "please forward this to everyone you care about". I don't believe that I've ever found a non-hoax email that asks me to forward it. My first move is to Google (or any other search engine) and type of a few key words from the email and see what pops up. It's usually a link to one of the urban legend websites.
