Philippine School Cancels Classes Over Psychic Email Hoax

I am so glad I only heard about this now. That means my friends aren’t morons who forward dumb emails. Gerry Alanguilan reminds us that there are still too many n00bs in the Philippines, even among its so-called “educators”:

My dad called me up to say that he won’t be teaching tomorrow at a local school, a Catholic school, may I add, because classes were suspended because someone predicted that there will be an 8.1 Magnitude earthquake in the Philippines tomorrow, and that thousands will die.

My dad doesn’t believe it, and neither do I.

The rumor stems from an email that had originated from a Brazilian psychic named Juseleeno Nobulega DaRoose, and apparently people say he has credibility because he predicted 9-11, the Indonesia Tsunami, the death of Princess Diana, etc.

Yes, folks, a Philippine school is canceling classes over a forwarded psychic email hoax. Click here to continue reading “Philippine School Cancels Classes Over Psychic Email Hoax”…
