Quite true. Actually, a widespread email gag, documented on snopes.

So old...has dinosaur crap on it...

Origins: Oh boy, this one is almost as funny as those photocopied "rules" about employees only being allowed to use the bathroom on alternate days (depending upon the first letters of their last names) that popped up on workplace bulletin boards all over the country when an odd-even gas rationing scheme was instituted during the 1979 oil crisis. We'd like to think nobody is foolish enough to fall for something so obviously phony, but then we recall all the people who asked us whether the message about Billy the Burlap Boy was genuine.

Wow, it's really unbelievable that people would fall for Billy the Burlap Boy too.
