On the internet, it must be true. Click fwd and let the world know clever me!

"Drink 2 glasses of water mixed with 2 tablespoons of white vinegar (acetic acid) and watch that fat melt away miraculously. No exercise, eat what you want." (Aside: If nothing else melts, atleast your stomach lining will).

"Cure is found for XYZ. Contact +1234XXX5678, Dr.Anaivasal in Dindigul district. Spread the word". (Aside: It does not matter if you send a sick, desperate, gullible person on a wild goose chase to nowhere.)

 "This week is equinox. Make the Sun your whatsapp profile picture or ultraviolet rays will target your smart phone and burn your ear drum.Share, save a life." (Aside: 2 seconds to rewind back to school and remember what equinox is. But, why bother.)

 "Watch video of caste xxx boy being beaten up by caste yyy goon. Watch and share among your friends. Let everyone know the truth." (Aside: err...how did I know it was X vs Y? ...I know, the friend who shared told me. Look carefully, can't you tell by looking at them?)

 "See actress XYZ's social gaffe, dupatta slips over head to reveal ear! Share to see full video." (Aside: Woah! treat for the day!)

 "This is the dung beetle. Look at this image carefully. You can see how closely he resembles the elephant. In fact, the dung beetle evolved from the mammoth, the ancestor of modern elephant. So, you can refer to it as mini-elephant too. Both same same." (Aside: Likeapedia told me...so now, tada.)

 "This is the year of the Kubera.Share this among 10 of your friends and invite Kubera into your home.Become wealthy in 10 days."(Aside: Too bad if you think I'm spamming you. I can't miss out on Luck.)

 "Use brown sugar. Now, what is brown sugar? Take white sugar, with big granules, add a teaspoon of jaggery in it. Mix mix mix. This is brown sugar." (Aside: How dare you you contradict my knowledge. I know all about it. My grocerywallah told me.)

 ...welcome to the age of know alls.
