6. We sent this list to our Repub neighbor

He hasn't responded yet. He sends us urban legend emails from time to time, the latest being one about Edwards causing flu vaccine makers to close down. We sent him the urban legend page about it and I'm hoping that all the people he sent the story to received the de-bunking page....I'm sure many of them believed it without checking!
