| I got this bit of "spam" in this morning's e-mail from the "Earthquake Centre." THIS IS AN OFFICIAL WARNING! As opposed to an unofficial one? yfyem qbzm chxqbv "Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!" A huge 300 ft. high ocean wave ismoving towards your continent. Your and many other cities are in a real danger. Considering that I'm in Akron, Ohio I raher doubt it'll get this far inland, but go on . . . Approximatewave moving speed is 700 km/h. I've nothing to worry about, then. Soon as it gets on the turnpike, it'll run into a Pennsylvania State Police radar trap, and they'll pull it over and give it a speeding ticket. toitw zrifvphjcn "Nanoo nanoo!" Please read more about this catastrophe here:http://www.Danger-tsunami.com/ We are strongly urging you to evacuate yourself and your family as soon as possible, even though you may live far away from your city. Run away! Run away! The tsunami will reach the continent in approximately FOUR hours. Considering that the e-mail arrived 8 hours ago, and there's not word one about the tsunami on Drudge Report, I'd say your ETA is a tad bit off, dude. lbujf hchhojomcq "Expecto Patronum!" YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! So where's the Canadian pharmecuticals? The low-interest mortgage loan? The miracle penis enlargement formula? The hidden fortune in Lagos, Nigeria? Don't you even want my bank and credit card info? What kinda spam is this, anyway? |

| #7 Old Patriot, wait until you get that mail about the 300 ft high snow avalanche coming your way! Still sitting this out, huh? Btw I got my first BUSINESS PROPOSAL from Darfur. I guess Al Gore finally invented the internet there as well. |

| #6 Will that mean I need to cancel my reservations on Galveston Island for this summer? At 6000 feet, about 1500 miles from the nearest ocean, with a 14,000 foot high mountain between me and the Pacific, I think I'll sit this one out, thank you. |
