sorry to dissapoint everyone but this is one of #the# top urban myths
and is unfortunately bogus. do a search for urban myths - there a several
good sites out there
the best myth is the continuing story of the pop star with the stomach pump,
and well, i won't go into it but safe to say the
identity of the popstar changes through the years. Use to be Elton John and
then Marc Almond for a long time, but now it is Alainis Morisette.
Sorry, i know its a posting on Friday humour, I just hope i haven't turned
myself into another Chad Scheidecker. What a great start to the week that
would be.
