Today's Waste of Time

I'm amazed at what some people do... I do expect better efforts than this from my readers though.

Speaking of spam...

This one's almost as good as the last one. Thanks to Dave for passing this one along.

Dear Sir/Madam

My name is Mrs. Jenny Brooks, I am a dying woman who have decided to donate what I have to you/ church. I am 59 years old and I was diagnosed for cancer for about 2 years ago, immediately after the death of my husband, who has left me everything he worked for.

I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from my late husband to you for the good work of God, rather than allow my relatives to use my husband hard earned funds ungodly. Please pray that the good Lord forgive me my sins. I have asked God to forgive me and I believe he has because He is a merciful God. I will be going in for an operation in less than one hour.

I decided to WILL/donate the sum of $2,500,000 (two million five hundred thousand dollars) to you for the good work of the lord, and also to help the motherless and less privilege and also for the assistance of the widows. At the moment I cannot take any telephone calls right now due to the fact that my relatives are around me and my health status. I have adjusted my WILL and my lawyer is aware I have changed my will you and he will arrange the transfer of the funds from my account to you.

I wish you all the best and may the good Lord bless you abundantly, and please use the funds well and always extend the good work to others. Contact my lawyer (Barrister Parker Brown) with this specified email: parkbrownesq@netscape.net and tell him that I have WILLED ($2,500,000.00) to you and I have also notified him that I am WILLING that amount to you for a specific and good work. I know I don?t know you but I have been directed to do this. Thanks and God bless.

NB: I will appreciate your utmost confidentiality in this matter until the task is accomplished as I don't want anything that will jeopardize my last wish. And Also I will be contacting with you by email as I don't want my relation or anybody to know because they are always around me.

Regards,
Jenny Brooks (Mrs)

I, like most other Internet users, detest spam. Imagine my surprise when the following email showed up in my inbox today...

Hi, Not sure if I have gotten the first email address wrong. I am sending this email as i hope you get may it this time.

Hi,

I have noticed you had a link to monster.com as well as other job sites. I just did a quick look and didn't see the link to the my website. I don't know if you removed it because of the downtime because of our transition or maybe I just missed it? Anyway, I was hoping you would consider a link to our new site as we provide jobs for those on a professional career track. (I think the link was at http://www.mckinleys.net/html/2005/05/oh-man-my-head-hurts.htm ).Our new page is at http://www.jobsearchusa.org

If by chance I have gotten the wrong email address for the person who is responsible for updates to your website could you please forward this email to the right address.

PS. If you could drop me a note when you have done it would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in Advance, Peter

Anyway, I'm not plugging your site. Now begone with thee, spammer! Lest I unleash my lackeys, minions, misfits and monkeys upon you!

If a picture is worth a thousand words... A video ought to be worth at least a thesis.

The Unflappable British

They are never flummoxed by assailing American traditions and icons.

First it was taxing our tea without representation, then it was burning the White House and now... Now they've just gone too far!

See for yourself! :o)

What Time Is It?

Do you know what time it is? (US & US Territories Only)

Having always been fascinated by time and time-keeping, I was fortunate enough to participate in a behind-the-scenes tour of the US Naval Observatory in Washington, DC recently.

I got to see Saturn with its rings and a couple of its moons through a 26-inch refractory telescope and some great views of the Moon through a 10-inch telescope.

I'm Back!

I'm back from vacation with a vengeance.

If you'd like to see some pictures, you can view a video I made from pictures taken during my trip.
