So, almost every visit to this blog via Google seems to contain some of the keywords "holst, lisa birgit. reading is believing. pc professional 1993".
Are all these people bothering to research the sources of the Snopes article? If they are, good, that is exactly the spirit.
Let me know what it was you were looking for when you came here.

Hey, came here to check out the blog linked on that British Blades site. Then again, I got there by googling Lisa Holst >_>
Sorry, I haven't found anything you guys there didn't.
Okay so I saw a link to a wikipedia article called "List of misconceptions" and thought "Hey, I should add that one about eating spiders" because I heard it had been debunked when I looked it up. Wikipedia is pretty serious about sources now so I tried to find an independent verifiable source regarding the debunking information. I googled "lisa holst pc professional" and found your blog as the first result.
Have you considered posting this topic on the snopes.com messageboards? I'm sure there are some people there that would be very interested in reading this!!
I tried. Topics on the Snopes BB are pre-approved by moderators and both times my new topic on the subject didn't get past the censorship.
It is entirely possible that the fact checkers and the moderators are the same team at Snopes.
I really wanted to read the original article to see what else was on the list that Lisa supposedly wrote for this seemingly non-existent magazine. Could it possibly have been an email magazine that was never published in print? Lisa Holst, if you're out there, give us some sign!
CGPGrey brought me here.
decades on this myth is still entertaining, i googled this trying to find out what are the other equally ridiculous facts cited in the article, but the apparent fact that there is no article (or at least its cited all over the place without a known source) is even funnier.
