Because someone sent this to you in Email..

One of the more annoying things I find about the Internet, and the people who use it, is this.

They think because there is a website on a subject, or you get a email about it, that it's true.

Case and point. Many of you may be getting a set of pictures of deep sea creatures found on beaches after the dreadful tsunami.

This is not real. They were not washed up on shore. But, people believe the email? Why? Because someone you know sent it? I've heard people talk about this picture at work, and they seem so disheartened when I tell them the truth. BUT, it's NOT REAL!

As a side note, that picture came from a Deep sea project of June 2003. It has nothing to do with the Tsunami.

I didn't realize you were so passionate about deep sea creatures.
