petar 15 Report post Posted October 11, 2008 Now, I get really irritated when this sort of a message comes. I knew this was one of those but I wanted to check out how ORKUT can "pay 1 paisa after each time this message if forward." I used Google Search & Found a blog and found this on it: An IIT Delhi student Anupam Joshi 4th Year Engineering Physics is suffering from Colukabki (caused due to excessive smoking and depression) a disease very rarely found (3 in a billion). His condition is very pathetic and the treatment is very expensive, obviously his parents are not able to afford his treatment. Yahoo has agreed to pay 1 paisa after each time this message is forward. So pls pass on this message to help. IIT Delhi. OR IIT Mumbai. Mechanical Engineering. Engineering Physics (I wonder if there actually is an Engineering Physics course at IIT DELHI) Both suffering from Colukabki. What is Colukabki by the way? I searched again and what did I find? Colukabki is not a disease. Colukakbi, actually, is nothing. There's no word called Colukakbi in English. Of course, there are the more irritating ones, two of which are "If you dont forward this, you dont have a heart" and the AIDS injection wala. How about an Anti-forwards Campaign? Dont just ignore such forwards. Type a reply back: "Look, I have something called a brain which actually thinks. I can donate a piece of it if you want. Stop sending me such forwards."
