GETTING BACK AT THE NIGERIAN SCAM ARTISTS

I recently received a Nigerian scam email and was contemplating how I could write a clever response. All I could come up with was "Get bent!". Luckily, there are people out there with greater imaginations (or perhaps more time on their hands!) than myself. Check out Scott Ganz's responses (based on Quatloos).

THE ENEMY WITHIN Following the devastating Cafe Hillel suicide bombing back in early September, I blogged about my own personal experiences with terror , whether it be knowing someone who had been killed or injured, or my own brushes with terror. Then I read this article this morning: Three Jerusalem Arabs with ties to Hamas who planned to carry out a mass poisoning at a prominent Jerusalem cafe were sentenced Tuesday to five to ten years in prison by the Jerusalem District court. The three men, whose arrests last September foiled their plans to poison Jewish diners at the city's Cafe Rimon, had confessed to the charges against them, with two of the three previously reaching a plea bargain with the prosecution. According to the sentencing handed down in court, Othman Kiania, 23, from the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan, who had worked for the past three years as an assistant chef at the restaurant was sentenced to five years in prison, Moussa Nasser, 23, of J...

WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN STEALING MONEY If this guy was twice as stupid as he thinks everyone else is, then he would be only half as stupid as he really is..

MOVING After yelling and screaming for a while now, Blogger have finally returned my mail and upgraded me to an ads-free version. So no more obnoxious pro-Palestinian ads appearing above my blog. I am not sure, though, whether I want to stay with Blogger..too many problems. I may have to consider a move to some other application. Any suggestions? And on the topic of moves, we are moving to our new apartment on Wednesday. The packing has been hard, especially on my wife who has done the bulk of it while I am at work, all while taking care of our two little munchkins. If you are reading this blog Erika - I love you! You are the greatest wife and mother! And then there are the "hiccups" along the way, including the following: - It did not look like we would get the mortgage in time to qualify for a discount, due to strikes in this country. - The date for receiving the keys was postponed a few times, from the original July date until now. This has led to much anxi...
