I got this from an e-mail from my uncle, and thought you guys might like it.

EVER SEE AN ICEBERG
FROM TOP TO BOTTOM?
This is awesome!
This came from a Rig Manager for Global Marine Drilling In St. Johns, Newfoundland.
They actually have to divert the path of these things
Away from the rig by towing them with ships!
Anyway, in this particular case the water was calm and
The sun was almost directly overhead
So that the diver was able to get into the water
And click this pic Clear water huh?!
They estimated the weight at 300,000,000 tons.

Wow, when they say "that's just the tip of the iceberg." they sure mean it. O_O
 
I wonder how far away the photographer was when that picture was shot.
 
I know it looks like a painting, it's an older photo, taken partly underwater. What do you expect?
 
OH MY GOD! I knew they were bigger beneath the surface, but not THAT much! :O
 
Yet it is fake :((

Oh, come on... can't we imagine for a while? :-)
 
Funny, but the first thing I did when I saw the picture was go to Snopes as well. I'm in the habit because of all the "virus will reset the clock on your VCR!" style email I get forwarded from my mother.

I think the best was when I got one of those emails warning about the latest and greatest virus that there was no defense for. Normally, when I get one of those from one of my friends, I usually just kindly point them to Snopes, thank them for the heads up, and point out that there is no such thing. My primary means of employment is in IT. (And yes, I do have secondary means of employment.) Believe me when I say that, if there were something that bad going around, I would have seen it on several of the sites I check daily.

What made this one so funny, though was that when I went back through the chain of forwards, I saw that it had originally come from an IT guy at her company.

I simply replied with "I'm sorry." She replied "Sorry for what?" And I replied with "Sorry that <redacted for politeness sake>."
 
its like a heavy upside down, very tiny legs, and arms+chest that make up 90% of his body.
 
I see that image all the time, it's in a lot of motivational posters in our science rooms.
 
Yeah, I've got pretty dependant on Snopes myself. This virus had me pretty scared until I went on there and found out it was fake!

Warning:
.
If you receive an email entitled " Bedtimes" delete it IMMEDIATELY. Do not open it . Apparently this one is pretty nasty. It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer. It demagnetizes the stripes on ALL of your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR, and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play. It will program your phone auto dial to call only 900 numbers. This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank.
.
IT WILL CAUSE YOUR TOILET TO FLUSH WHILE YOU ARE SHOWERING. It will drink ALL your beer. ARE YOU LISTENING?? It will leave dirty underwear on the coffee table when you are expecting company. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine. If the "Bedtimes" message is opened in a Windows Operating System it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk!
.
*** WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN. ***! And if you don't send this to 5000 people in 20 seconds, you'll fart so hard that your right leg will spasm and shoot straight out in front of you, sending sparks that will ignite the person nearest you. Send this warning to everyone!!! ! THERE'S A LOT OF SADNESS IN THE WORLD! Right now, as you're reading this, 17 Million people are having SEX!!! And look at you - you're on the computer!!!!
