This was at the bottom of a long quoted page, and it doesn't have a URL, but
PLEASE, everybody, don't send stuff on without checking to see whether it's
true.

Ah... Lillian did send this:

Yet another urban legend: http://www.snopes.com/toxins/lipstick.asp

Mr. Rogers was NOT a sniper, and he was NOT a Navy SEAL (for example,
something else I received lately from a homeschooling mom).

There are websites that have the truth about these irritating chain-letter
e-mail rumors. Go to GOOGLE and type in some main words and check it out, or
if you don't want to bother to do that, just don't send the thing on to
anybody. I'm always especially disappointed when nonsense is passed on by
homeschooling parents, because it makes me wonder how careful they're being about what
they tell their kids.

Looking for conspiracies and dangers is fun for some people, but it's not the
purpose of this list unless the conspiracies and dangers directly affect
homeschooling.
