A new variation on the Nigerian scap hit my inbox today.

<blockquote>Hello,

I am Major Ralph Harland, I am a British officer attached to UN peace Keeping force in Iraq, I am the commanding officer of the First Battalion of the Royal Irish Regiment, as you may know everyday, there are several cases of insurgent’s attacks and suicide bombs going on here.

We managed to Move funds belonging to some demised persons who were attacked and killed through insurgent attacks. The total amount is US$9.5 Million dollars in cash. We want to move this money to you, so that you may keep our share for us until when we shall come over to meet you.

We will take 60%, my partner and I. You take 40%. No strings attached, just help us move it out of Iraq, Iraq is a war zone.

We plan on using Diplomatic courier and shipping the money out in two large metallic boxes, using diplomatic immunity. If you are interested I will send you the full details; my aim is to find a good partner that we can trust and assist us can you be trusted?

When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail here ralpharland@yahoo.co.uk , or majorralpharland@aol.co.uk signifying your interest including your most confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick communication and also your contact details.

This business is 100% risk free.

Respectfully,

Major Ralph Harland
ralpharland@freenet.de</blockquote>OK, let's put aside that this Northern Irishman serving Her Majesty's forces in Iraq has a Danish e-mail address. Even if this is the most honest letter ever, how can robbing $9.5 million from innocent war dead be 100% risk free? People get hung for that sort of shit. You'd have Americans, Brits, Irish, Iraquis, and a nice slice of the Islamic World after you. Alberto Gonzalez would kill you personally just to make good with everybody else.

(I wonder why "Family Member" didn't identify himself/herself when sending the ePostCard? I hate to be a cynic, but is it possible that this is spam, and the Family Member didn't use a name because they can't be sure whether or not I really have an Uncle Billy or an Aunt Hazel?)

="metsmarathon":27z648ni] Are you fucking kidding me? Mars is 3200 miles in diameter. The moon is 2160 miles in diameter. For them to appear the same size, mars would have to be approximately 1.5 times farther from the earth than the moon. The moon is about 240,000 miles from the earth. Mars would have to be about 360,000 miles from the earth to appear to be the same size as the moon, or 100 times closer than its 34,000,000 mile approach. For mars to appear to be the same brightness as the moon, and to have the same size as the moon, it would have to have to be at least twice as reflective as the moon. It is not. Also, you'd think that if mars ever did appear to be the same fucking size of the moon about every 280 years, we'd've fucking heard about it before, if only in passing. Sheesh... also, what, is it like a step function? One day, dot in the sky. Then, all of a sudden, its august 27th and HOLY FUCKING SHIT THERE's TWO FUCKING MOONS! WTF!!!

Considering the havoc of Mars coming within 360,000 miles would likely reak on our gravitational field, I'd guess that "We're all gonna die!" wouldn't be the dumbest reaction.

This morning when I checked my e-mail, I found that, overnight, I had received 22 different "enhancement" spams with the following subjects:

PhallusFull-sizeCesar, HelenePenisWalloping, PhallusMonumentalAnnie, LargeDickHorace, GrandFuckstickCathleen, GiantPenisRosanne, MoniqueCapaciousBodypart, HugePhallusOrville, LillianSpaciousPenis, GailPenisLarge, RicoOversizePhallus, Wide-rangingBodypartPat, BodypartObviousGretchen, HollisFuckstickObvious, WestonFuckstickOversize, TyroneOutsizeFuckstick, TitanicBodypartCasey, PuffyPhallusShawn, MassiveShlongLenny, EdgardoHumongousCock, DickPlumpingEliseo, and DeanErectileorganCosmic.

They sound like a strange group of people, especially Helene, Annie, Lillian and a few others.

It's kind of like Mad Libs; they combine a name, a synonym for large, and one for the male organ, and come up with tons of unique combinations.

I've been getting these kinds of e-mails for a few weeks now, but the onslaught seems to be kicking into high gear.
