THIS IS A FALSE RUMOR!!! I have seen this rumor appear at least once a year for the last 10 - 12 years. Every time it surfaces 100's of people fall for it and make fools of themselves. I think probably that this is purpose of the rumor. My pastor, and other ministers in this area (Austin, Texas) have verified that it has no factual basis. Sincerely, Biff Coon BC01@SWTEXAS.BITNET
