I'm kind of curious how this happened, or why, if it wasn't an accident.

I don't really feel like calling them back though and being like "ummm, yeah... you just called my cell phone?" then having them go look up my number in a giant registry of suspected terroris... errr...contacts.

There was a cracking rip off of the recent bail out proposal, worded like the the African I NEED UPFRONT CASH TO GET 40 BILLION spam email's.

One thing that always makes me laugh is the fact that all emails of that ilk (well nearly all) are wrote in caps, makes me wonder if what causes all this money to go into bank accounts, and distant unknown mysterious relatives to die in plane crashes is a sever lack of working keyboards. Seriously we should start a fund to send them keyboards to see if that fixes the problem.

HI I AM SAXON LEADER OF THE SEND KEYBOARDS TO AFRICA CAMPAIGN WE NEED $8USD TO BE ABLE TO BUY KEYBOARDS FOR THE POOR UNFORTUNATE SPAMMERS IN THE WORLD PLEASE SEND MONEY SOON.
