Now we're semi-sure that yesterday's ridiculous impending-terror email started with a young man at CNN. (Of course, you can never tell with these damn things — they spread like herpes at an all-girl's private school.) The NYPD claims the email is a virus, but we see that most of these were forwarded intentionally. We also hear that CNN boy is feeling the heat in the office. Of course, there's always another (far more sarcastic) explanation...

From a reader:

Yeah...so I have a colleague who works with an assistant whose uncle works for the taxi company and he says the other day he was at work eating falafel when he saw a colleague (another driver) sitting in a cab during his lunchbreak (not totally sure what he was dining on) composing this email on a junky old laptop. When he finished, he presented it to the other off-duty cabbies (it was rush hour, after all) in the depot, and began a spirited cheer claiming that Friday will be the biggest fare day in NYC cabbie history. They all chuckled and went about their business. I don't know, it's just what I heard...
