The Front Fell Off The Oil Tanker
On August 19th 2007, an oil tanker off the coast of Australia split in two, dumping 20,000 tons of crude oil.
Senator Collins, a member of the Australian Parliament, appeared on a TV news program to reassure the Australian public. This actual interview is so funny, you'd swear it was a Saturday Night Live or Monty Python skit.
I didn't know that they weren't allowed to make oil tankers out of paper, string, cello tape or rubber. Who knew.

But who's on first??
Certainly you don't really believe this is true. This has been going around the internet for years. This is part of a comedy sketch from the early 1990s.
This is how politicians are getting so much misinformation out about people. As long as it is an email, it must be true, and soon some blogger will put it up as fact as well. Next thing you know it becomes fact.

Thanks for the clarification "anonymous." I thought I had checked Snopes on this one but evidently I didn't.
It did seem rather far fetched.
Thanks for stopping by.
