Washington Post's Mensa Invitational ?

Ever have people who just forward the joke of the day that's kinda funny or you gotta read this, or please forward to ten people for good luck?

"Something good will happen to you tonight at 11:11 PM. This is not a joke. Someone will either call you or will talk to you online and say that they love you. Do not break this chain. Send this to 13 people in the next 15 minutes. Go."



Here's one that keeps popping up: The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational

I won't repost the whole link as you can find the real Urban Legend-like story as to why the Washington Post or Mensa doesn't have a link at www.Take Our Word.com
