I am from the USA and things here are a bit different from where you all are from. I love to read comic books and go shopping and play D&D until my eyes fall out.

I have got this mail many times.
Same things but the city replaced by Bangalore or Bombay.
I don't think the information is very reliable.
Sorry to say this, But this is just my opinion.
