Always research chain emails before you send them out. I’ve seen several emails that claimed things that were untrue as revealed by a quick search on Google.
Besides, you may find out other interesting facts while researching … like this one: Vending Machines have killed more people than Sharks!

Actually, I would like more information. From what little I have heard, sharks normally maim people rather than kill them. I would like to compare injuries instead of fatalities in the quest for the deadliest award. But, I don’t think I want to spend the time researching.

I want to know how many people die from drinking too much of what’s in the vending machines. I would submit that they are dangerous without even having to fall on you.

Good point.
Especially in Japan where they sell alcoholic drinks and cigarettes!
