I think warnings are helpful in America. Like, our new toaster has a caveat: do not take item into your bath. Now if I could just figure out how to feed it.
@adoringava: Who was it, Descartes? Said, nothing that is conceived but what exists. Go ahead, try. By that reasoning, there is indeed out there somewhere some lone lorn widow of the Nigerian finance minister yearning for her accumulated family fortune to breathe free.
@pufflehuff: Okay, do the math on the numbers. I don't mean the $11.5 mil. I mean Whitacker calling himself "0014" because he's "twice as smart as 007." Not by my calculator.
@Tremonius: Saw it last Fri - teehee! And the ever-increasing numbers, teehee! As for the 0014, I knew that was coming, and still I teehee'd - and I'm not easily pleased.
@pufflehuff: I was a little unnerved that one symptom of bipolar disorder was elaborate daydreaming. And I was glad to know that every single calamity befalling ol' Mark was exclusively of his own doing. He was making - what? $360K - and on the up escalator when his daydreams started leaking out of his mouth. #email
I'll never forget my first glimpse of that shit back in 1995.. some shitty animated .gif banner that said Click on the Flapping Pelican to Win Free AA Batteries! .. and then it forwarded to some .ru site that asked for your AOL password... ah, the ol' days!
i guess this is why i was emailed that i won £750.000.00 in a Toyota promotion this morning. All they need is all my pertinent info and the money is mine.
@yourfriendandneighbor: It's slightly more clever than just demanding personal data. The usual pitch is that the wife of the finance minister of the Nigerian regime needs to bribe customs to relase the ten million in gold bullion to you.
I used to laugh at all this - until I read how often it works. Sort of eerie to think you live in a world where anybody around you may be dumb enough to fall for the Nigerian scam. #email
