Then there's the chatterbox version:
HR 5660 and the PayPal LIE
This just means that the auction houses and sellers markets will have to pony up as a sales tax clearing house and they don't want to.
Small seller exemptions are already defined by the original bill in 2000.
This is but another example of how business marketing through mass media dupes average people into rallying against their own best interests.
Legally, you are supposed to voluntarily claim & pay sales tax you avoided anyway...
There is always SOME truth to what comes from outside sources, but still the age-old timeless adage applies:
Don't believe everything you hear. - Aesop (c.620-560 BC)
Take, for instance this quite believable story about WD-40 I got from my best friend: See if you can spot the fallacies before seeing them at the end.
What is the main ingredient of WD-40 ?
Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main ingredient of WD-40 is?
Don't lie and don't cheat.
WD-40. Who knew; I had a neighbor who bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason). I went over, woke him up, and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do.... probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open. Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck. I'm impressed!
WD-40 who knew? 'Water Displacement #40'. The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts.
WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company.
Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement' compound.. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40.
The Convair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you... When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass.
It's a miracle! Then try it on your stove top ... Viola! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.

40. Use it for fire ant bites.. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.

re:WD-40
So... was curious, so looked around a little...
There is so much on the web, fact intertwined with fiction
Alot of these sound cool, but-
First the MSDS:
No Fish Oil here, only a Fish Story, sorry...
From
http://www.wd40.com/about-us/myths-legends-fun-facts/
What a Fish story!
Myth: WD-40 contains fish oil.
Fact:
Consumers have told us over the years that they have caught some of the biggest fish ever after protecting their fish hooks and lures with WD-40. We believe this legend came from folks assuming that the product must contain fish oil since it appears to attract fish. Sorry Charlie®, it just ain’t so.
WD-40 Company has taken steps to respect and conserve the environment, and encourages its users to do the same. While WD-40 can be used to help protect fishing equipment from rust and corrosion, WD-40 Company does not recommend using WD-40 to attract fish.
Oops... don't spray for arthritis just yet...
“WD-40 Cures Arthritis!” No Way.
Myth: WD-40 cures arthritis.
Fact:
This popular headline, appearing at least once a year in the tabloids, is completely FALSE. WD-40 Company does not recommend the use of WD-40 for medical purposes, and knows no reason why WD-40 would be effective for arthritis pain relief. WD-40 contains petroleum distillates and should be handled with the same precautions for any product containing this type of material.
The founder is who?
WD-40’s Original Founder
Myth: Ken East is WD-40’s original founder.
Fact:
While Ken East is often referred to as one of WD-40’s original founders, he says, “Heck, I ain’t that old.” Ken is the facility manager at WD-40 Company’s San Diego headquarters and is affectionately known as “The Brewmaster.” He’s been mixing up batches of our secret sauce for nearly 15 years and proudly proclaims, “I absolutely LOVE my job!”
As mentioned in our corporate and brand history, Norm Larsen, founder of Rocket Chemical Company, is considered the original founder of WD-40.
