Poor them. This story is about as accurate as the Good Times virus (and it's
newest incarnation, 'Irina') It's spam. This is one of those stories that has
been circulating the internet for years with no (to little) basis in fact. At
least this time, the person decided to drop saying that the cookies were made by
Mrs. Fields (incorrect, seeing how Neiman-Marcus doesn't sell Mrs. Fields
cookies and never has).

A nice recipe, admittedly. I'd leave out the nuts, myself. More appropriate
for a recipe list, seeing how this is Shadowrun interactive fiction, though.
Any thought about putting a listing of spam running through the internet in the
FAQ as an "inappropriate to the list", Mark?
