Sorry…

No grab bag today. Just one link for Buckaroo Banzai fans and Nigerian 419 scammer haters:

Quick, go read it before it gets taken down.
Edit: I have received permission to post the whole thing here for posterity. Yay!

We all know about these scams by now: You get an email claiming so and so of Lagos or Kenya has died in a horrible accident and if you help the group repatriate the money he had (usually millions) they’ll give you a cut of it.
Well, I often have free time on my hands and a fake email account so I love to take these guys to task. Below is a complete email transcript between me (this time posing as Dr. John Bigbootie of Yoyodyne industries) and a Nigerian Email Scammer (This time posing as Rev. Edward Franck, the beloved protectorate of rich orphans). Enjoy!
His contact email to me:
FROM FATHER Edward Franck.
