Evidently.

Opportunity to use one of my favorite quotes:

"Think of how stupid the average person is, then think - half of them are even stupider than THAT!!!" ---George Carlin

Of what? Do not need that illegal stuff these days...

I could be very happy with $10 million bux. Its legal, no hassles and would buy at least one 917 and a place to drive it out in the middle of no-where, on the runway where I could also land the plane.

What more could someone need in life?

I responded to one of those emails one time, just to see what happened. I got like $10 mil emails daily for a few weeks afterward. It was quite comical.

Funny.
Just today I got an e-mail saying I won the 500,000 pounds Yahoo.com lottery.
