This juicy little nugget (pun intended) comes to us from our "allies" in the Saudi Kingdom:
that have been spreading via SMS about the entry of millions of HIV-infected yellow melons into Saudi Arabia through its northern border.
A Saudi Health Ministry source said that the message was totally false, and added, "HIV cannot be transmitted in food or drinks."
I think I've found a new nominee for my little award:
The Saudi Health Ministry

This is what happens when you have a poorly educated - and very isolated from knowledge - populace.

I'm honestly surprised it took this long to get urban legends going on SMS/Text.
