First off, this is a hoax as are most of these. The first hint of this is
"PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW" Almost all of the hoaxes want you to pass
this on to everyone you know. This spreads the hoax quite well. You can
see this hoax listed here:

This page is a great resource for virus hoaxes and urban legends:
http://www.urbanlegends.com/ Please do some research before spreading this
kind of garbage. Also, the list rules say not to send this type of stuff to
the list without asking the list owner first. FYI
