I love Gmail. Gmail automatically places spam emails into my spam filter, which means I never see them. Which is of course good. I don’t usually pay much attention to my spam box, but I noticed this past weekend it had a lot of entries - 25 to be exact. I opened it up to delete them all, but what I found caused me to chuckle.

All 25 spams were from Nigerian 419 Scammers. Instead of deleting them all I opened each one and read them. They were of course all the same to varying degrees. Some poor sap with my last name was offed/died/otherwise left this mortal coil and had left me various sums, 10, 23, 26 million dollars. I tallied up all of my “inheritances” and it came to over 665 Million dollars.

I was tempted to write them back and play them like EbolaMonkeyMan does, but who has the time? So although on fake paper I may be worth over 665 million dollars, it’s back to search engine optimizing for me!
