Nope, it's completely empty. I'd rather be right than happy any day, and the reason I detest, loathe and abhor crap of this sort is that it gets regurgitated as gospel - it's the "I read this on the Internet so it must be true" syndrome that pushes my buttons. Whenever anybody sends me anything like this, I go stright to snopes.com, and more often than not, my cynical mistrust is completely vindicated.
