Two things to correct after re-reading the St. Jude article.

Karl Altenburg (altenbur@plains.NoDak.edu) wrote:

: Goodenough, O.R., and R. Dawkins. 1994. The 'St. Jude' mind 
: virus. Nature 370:23.
               ^371:23.

It turns out that this chain letter is a mutation of the St. Jude letter.
Although many of the references and dollar amounts have been rewriten,
the outline of the letter is the same.
