Interesting Health Fact and a personal thought on "forwards"

Bet you didn't know this:

Did you know that in the human body there is a nerve that connects the eyeball to the anus? It's called the Anal Optic Nerve, and it is responsible for giving People a shitty outlook on life.

If you don't believe it, try to pull a hair from your ass and see if it doesn't bring a tear to your eye.

Side note: I got the above forwarded to me from a friend and thought I'd share. For the most part I fucking hate forwards because they're usually one of four things;

1/ Sappy "feel good about yourself" chain mail (YOU MUST SEND THIS TO 8 MILLION PEOPLE (WHILE PRAYING FOR WORLD PEACE) TO TELL THEM HOW MUCH YOU CARE OR YOU'RE AN UNCARING PRICK!!!!!!!!) bullshit.

2/ Superstitious chain mail (YOU MUST SEND THIS TO 8 MILLION PEOPLE RIGHT NOW OR YOU'LL DIE AT THE MOUTHS OF RABID PIGS AND SCREW EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER KNOWN YOU WITH BAD LUCK FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!) bullshit.

3/ Scam chain mail (YOU MUST SEND THIS TO 8 MILLION PEOPLE BECAUSE BILL GATES IS WATCHING YOUR EMAIL AND WILL GIVE YOU A FORTUNE AND IF YOU DON'T YOU'RE A RETARD THAT JUST GAVE UP THE CHANCE TO BE A GAZILLIONAIR!!!!!!!!!) bullshit.

And finally the worst fucking one- #4/ "This REALLY happened" chain mail (-Insert bullshit story here- THIS REALLY HAPPENED AND IF YOU DON'T WARN 8 MILLION PEOPLE RIGHT NOW YOU'RE A DUMBSHIT THAT CAN'T SEE THAT IT COULD (read: Probably will) HAPPEN TO YOU OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) bullshit.

9 times out of 10 after reading a #4 type forward I will go to snopes. com or urban legends.com, see that it's bullshit and forward the TRUTH attached to the bullshit to all 8 million people that got it sent to them along with me. Included with the TRUTH will be the following- a 2 page long rant about people not taking the time to check their facts, wasting fucking bandwidth, taking up MY inbox space with stupid factless bullshit and wasting my (and other people's) fucking time, and a link to snopes or urban legends begging people to check the facts before clicking "Send".

So there's that. I don't mind funny or meaningful forwards from people who know me and know what I dig but really,... the bullshit has got to stop- so it does,.... at my inbox.
