Apparently, there are no pictures of Neil Armstong on the moon, because Buzz Aldrin was so pissed off at not being chosen to be first that he somehow managed to not take any.
I tried to check this out, and found only one crappy photo of Armstrong's back, and that was about it, so maybe it's true.

Certainly not a circulated email purporting to be a "true story". But yep, it's a true story, and if I annoy everyone I know with emails, Microsoft are going to send me thousands of dollars, Nike and Reebok are both going to give me a lifetime supply of shoes and several kids dying of various nasty things are going to get vast amounts of money - all courtesy of the internet pisgies who can achieve great things that not even the CIA, NSA, KGB and our own valiant SIS can do, namely: track how many people an email gets forwarded to.

Must go, I've got to send out five emails to 150 people in the next three minutes or I'll have terrible luck for the next six years and I'll never have good sex again so long as I live. Bloody nosey internet pisgies, I wish they'd stop spying on me and telling people whether or not I forwarded emails!
