Ron might die... maybe not!

Actually, I'm not that "Ali Weasley" that you heard it from. I'm just 
another loser Ali that loves Ron. :) Now, I looked up yet more 
meanings. (Sorry If I buy into these things much to easily. What can 
I say, I fufil my role as idot sidekick. Yet still do my analytical 
writing as well. ^__^) And at http://www.theninemuses.net/hp/w.html 
It said: In Arthurian legend, "Ron" is the name of King Arthur's 
trusty spear. (No, I don't buy into the whole "Running Weasel" 
theory, thank you very much.)"
And this too, makes much sense because Ron's dad is named Arthur. And 
if I recall, he had some advisors... or something named Fred and 
George. 
But of course, everyone is free to believe whatever they wish. I am 
going niether way, I'll just let it come when it comes. (And if he 
does die, I'll go cry in my room) And thank you Paul, for being both 
helpful and honest. Bye for now!
~Ali*

this silly story is posted on at least a dozen websites!  It has all 
the earmarks of an intentionally created hoax, including the fact 
that this same story is quoted almost word-for-word on all these 
sites.

guy was supposedly a great warlord and a brilliant military 
strategist, who also never lost a single game of chess. In the end he 
was said to have been killed by a rat -- one that had been dyed 
yellow. The rat knocked down a lamp in his house and burnt the place 
to the ground, killing Running Weasel."
