Weird E-mail Message
When I got home yesterday I checked my home e-mail. I had a bunch of identical e-mails in my inbox. When I looked at them, they were all the same. Someone was trying to register at www.msds.com and had used my e-mail address for their confirmation. Once the e-mail was recieved, the person was supposed to click on the link to complete their registration.
Since www.MSDS.com is a legitimate website for hazardous materials, I figure someone mistyped their e-mail address (though mine is quite unique), but 6 times!

Too big to fail

Sounds like a crawler/worm issue.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Think about it. Someone that thick is trying to handle hazmat.
It's nature weeding out the stupid again.
