I love these things, except they so often feed misinformation. I don't know about this one in particular (most of these seem valid), but I know similar ones that have gone around are 25% or less actual true facts,t he rest are just completely made up. Why, I have no idea.
BTW, what's UFI stand for?If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -

I'll go with number 7 all day long. I can't tell you how many times I've stepped in eggplant here in Jersey.
