The difference with this email from the ones I have seen in the past is this one had a very impressive Powerpoint presentation with it that would make a believer out of the nieve. I laughed at this and told my son that this rumor has been floating around for about four years in various forms.

While at a local eatery today a lady walked up to me and exclaimed "It's great to hear the news about Mars this August!"
Yep, she'd just seen an email indicating on 27 August Mars will appear as big in the sky as the full Moon.
So I guess that makes, what, 6 years that has been circulating on the web?
