Do you ever get those chain letters that say if you post it in 10 people's profiles that and hit a series of buttons you'll get gold. Well I got one today. I've always blown them off but I decided to do an experiment. I found 9 people who have been inactive for at least the last 3 years plus I posted that same thing on the baka that left the thing on my profile. that made 10 people. Well here is what the thing said:

hey!copy and paste this onto 10 profiles,press f5 and f9 together,and get 1,000,000 gold!more profiles more gold

f5 and f9 together do nothing more than refresh the page. that's it. no gold. nothing special. I consider this experiment a success. There is no way to overstate my satisfaction.

Purpose: Discover if Chain letters actually work.
Hypothosis: No.
Procedure:
1. post "hey!copy and paste this onto 10 profiles,press f5 and f9 together,and get 1,000,000 gold!more profiles more gold" in ten people's profiles
2. make sure to include the baka that posted in mine in those 10 people
3. make a note in journal of experiment including a lab write up
Data: Posted in 10 profiles. hit buttons. no change. just refreshes the page.
Conclusion. hypothesis is correct. Chain letters are for bakas and such people should be flamed whenever possible.
