Here are two good examples of exactly the kind of rumors we would all be well legally-advised not to spread. So please take careful note of the fact that I am specifically telling you not to spread them...

1) Christopher Reeve has recovered over 30% of his mobility, but has decided not to continue with treatment because he has decided that he prefers the quadriplegic lifestyle. He's trying to keep this a secret because he wants to continue to act as a spokesman for the quadriplegic community.

2) Noam Chomsky was held at knifepoint in a sloppy home-invasion robbery in which he offered only verbal resistance. The perp was easily apprehended, but Chomsky has been called by the defense to testify as a professional witness in order to render an opinion as to whether the defendant's culpability might be mitigated in light of complex psychosocial factors resulting from distortions of the media's English lexicon by multinational corporations. Chomsky says that whenever he has been called as a professional witness, he will completely co-operate.

Remember. These stories are NOT TRUE.
So don't tell them to anybody.
