I don't find anything on Snopes about it, but I don't know, I don't believe it's for real.
The supersnake guy is, but I think he's the one that was set up by those two. It sounds rehearsed.

It might be fake, it is funny. What is Snopes?

[Lady Di]

Snopes is a mythbusting website.

I check every 'you have got to pass this on, I know it's true cause my aunt's co-workers second cousin by her third marriages great nephew said he knows a guy that knows a guy that saw this happen' email before it get forwarded to everybody and his brother again.

http://www.snopes.com/

And as SOME people on here know, if I get an email, and said email has been forwarded to everybody and his brother without checking for validity, and it is false, I am going to 'reply all' with an and let everybody know that there is nothing to this latest e-rumor.

I have been mythbusting since Jamie and Adam were nothing but a stain on the sheets.

And that site makes for some really fun reading!

[Lady Di]

This pretty much sums up the types of emails I am talking about (and it's dang funny!)


SUMMARY OF MY LAST YEAR'S E-MAIL...

I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat poop
in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing.

Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl
(Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the
1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I
receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me
for participating in their special e-mail program.

And I'll get even more when I cash that money order from Nigeria for $2,000 more than the eBay item I sold. They're crazy if they think I'm sending them the extra funds back.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels
looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every
wish.

I no longer eat at KFC because their chickens are actually horrible
mutant freak s with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can
remove toilet stains.

I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm
pumping gas.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans.

I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.

And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup water in the
microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face... disfiguring
me for life.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could
be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are
actually Al Qaeda in disguise.

I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support
our American troops or the Salvation Army.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica,
Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.

I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive
my free replacement pair from Nike.

I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.

Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big
brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant
death when it bites my butt.

Thank you too for all the endless advice Andy Rooney has given us. Ican live a better life now because he's told us how to fix everything.

And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up the $5.00 I
found dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed
there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.

Oh, and don't forget this one either! I can no longer drive my car
because I can't buy gas from certain gas companies!

If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next
70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at
5:00 PM this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your
back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur
because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor's
ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's nephew's friend's
beautician.

Have a wonderful day.

By the way: A South American scientist from Argentina, after a
lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain
and sexual activity read their e-mail with their hand on the mouse.

Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late. (it's true, I snoped it! )

What is Snopes?

Don't rely on snopes as a knowledge/fact crutch because I've seen them be wrong before.  From what I've seen they're reasonably reliable, but I've seen enough misinformation on snopes to know to take anything from them with a grain of salt.

I'd believe snopes before I believe the friend of a co-worker's aunts best friends son's co-workers daughter.
And I would way rather see LESS junk email going around, even if snopes is wrong about people being ambushed in parking lots by perfume wielding muggers.
And while any online info is due to have misinformation, I would put good money on most of the time them being RIGHT.

oh man that is sooo great haha i was

I've checked snopes pages on different things in the past and seen that they had mis-information on lineage, trim packages, engine availability and so on.  Not just on one page but on several.  That's when I started to consider the fact that snopes is just as prone to having mistakes as the info people are trying to refute.  If they can't get their info correct on a subject they can easily obtain facts on how can they possibly be right when it comes to far fetched stories or rumor?  Just a little food for thought
