How's the weather in Nigeria this time of year?

Sigh.

If you, like me, enjoy having a little fun with the Nigerian scammers who fill your inbox any time you post an item on Craigslist, check out 419 Eater.  It's a barrel of laughs.

  2. I've got two going right now. Did you see the one where the scam-baiters had the scammers travel all over Africa and they ended up stranded? Unfortunately, most of these people never get caught.

  4. There are only three things which make life worth living: to be writing a tolerably good book, to be in a dinner party of six, and to be travelling south with someone whom your conscience permits you to love.
