(I'm re-posting this because my email server kicked it back. My apologies
if you get it twice)
This article has been circulating around for a while. The Urban Legends
web site (Snopes.com) has a pretty good write-up on it
_http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/household/wd-40.asp_
(http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/household/wd-40.asp) . Although some of the claims appear to be true, all of them are not.
And [SPOILER ALERT] the main ingredient is not fish oil.

Hey Group -
WD-40 may do a myriad of good things, but please be very very careful
about spraying it anywhere near open flames or even hot surfaces. It is
extremely flammable. Read the cautions on the can before you use it.
