You know those urban legend emails that you get in the mail? I have a few international friends, and last week I got one from Spain telling me about gang initiations involving flashing your lights, etc.

My Spanish is minimal, so I called in my husband (who speaks Castilian Spanish) to translate.

I’ve gotten a few more from her, but I’m not wasting the neurons to translate. Until I get emails using lower case letters, I won’t read them. How do I explain that it is no more likely to have happened over there than it did ten years ago here?
