Mr. E, I first saw this (or a reasonable variation thereof) about 7 or 8 years ago. I think it originally started out as an April Fools gag. I can't believe that some people continue to perpetuate it. It's like the old story about the lady with a poodle named Fluffy. She gives him a bath and nukes him dry for 15 minutes in the microwave oven. "Boom!" I think this one continues it's rounds also. KJC

Ah yes. The case of the stolen kidneys. That one's been around a while. Not unlike the case of the male, the gerbil, the emergency room, and the removal of said gerbil from a private orifice. As it is Len's thread, I must defer to him as to whether chain email is admissable. -MrB

That has been making the rounds of spam mail for a while now. Anyone who believes it qualifies for honorary status here as a Thread Moron. And, while I can't control it, I would like to see only behavior that has the characteristics mentioned many times previously, and in a thread here on SI, be nominated and posted in this thread. My own opinion is that penny stock threads, and the hype, games, and circus that goes on within them, are not fodder for this thread. Again, I have no control over this, but I think those fights should stay over there. There is just too much rancor involved in this area, and I have my own strong feelings in that regard. So I don't want this thread to become a debate on those issues. Thanks for everyone's help. Len
