Re: OT- The Best Nigerian Scam yet
This is all over the new today. I don't get it -- is this a news media spoof or web page satire or is someone actually sending this out -- again, as a joke or does someone actually expect the explanation to tug on heart strings and get some money?
I'm pretty confused.  |

14 years in space!?!?! Where's the Guinness Book people? They gotta hear about this! 
Seriously, if he *had* been up there that long, he'd never be able to come back - earth gravity would kill him.
And what is that thing on the Register's masthead - a buzzard?

Done right, it's pretty funny. I got this one from a friend of my sister. She also taught me how to fold my upper eyelids over themselves and gross people out. Is that explaination enough?

That letter is a joke, right? Who's going to believe a story like that?

Re: OT- The Best Nigerian Scam yet
I saw a TV program about these nigerian scams, and ppl do fall for them. They get you to withdraw loads of money from the bank, fill a suitcase with money and then fly to Amsterdam (or sometimes other places) to meet with some guy who puts a load of spiel on you. All the while there are armed heavies watching you from a discrete distance.
Then they invite you to go with them to a secluded location to "complete the transaction", and I'm sure I don't have to spell that one out for you all.

Re: OT- The Best Nigerian Scam yet
We should all respond by saying that we have surface to space missiles available to us and we would be happy to blow his arse out of space so that his burned and chard body will return to his precious Nigeria. The center of scum and villinary on the planet Earth.
All we need is $15,000 US dollars and the missile is away.
