Anyone else find the fact that they chose a Spanish name for a fake anecdote supposedly from Japan a bit odd?

You have just been randomly selected out of a total of over 30 Million people for an
opportunity to be one of the first people allowed to participate in something special...

Something that has taken years to create... and something that is going to make a lot of
people very wealthy.

See what I'm talking about by going to this website.

"It is always better to avenge dear ones than to induldge in mourning. For every one of us, living in this world means waiting for our end. Let whoever can win glory before death. When a warrior is gone, that will be his best and only bulwark."

I'm thinking of buying a few hundred acres of Canadian wilderness and having a scale-replica of an Orion built on it.

Sadly... this is not the case.

A good example here: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/florida/orl-asecnigerian23122303dec23,0,4096704.story

This guy won't even admit to being frauded. He still believes the scammers are his "friends" and the greedy governments are at fault.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman
