Here is an email I received recently

Dear Sir/Ma,

I am the only Daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs. Linus. My father was a highly reputable business magnet who operated in the capital of cote D' Ivoire during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad year 12th Febuary 2004.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time. But God knows the truth! My mother died when I was just 6 years old and since then my father took me so special.

Before his death on Febuary 12 2004 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of fifteen million, seven hundred thousand United State Dollar (USD$15.700,000)left in a box called consignment in one of the leading Security company in Africa. He further told him deposit that he deposited the money with my name, and finally issued a written instruction to his lawyer who he said is in possession of all the
necessary but legal documents to this fund and the bank. I am just a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do now. And also I am a deaf girl.

I need urgent assistant were this box funds will be delivered to you then you will deposit the whole money into your bank account after retriving the box money from the security company and after the transaction I will come and live with .This is because I have suffered alot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Cote d' Ivoire. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life and i wished to invested under your care please. I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistant in this regards.

Your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded. Now permit me to
ask this few questions:-
{1} Can you honestly help me .
{2} Can I completely trust ? .
{3}What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for
you after the money is in your account while i finalies my education?.

Kindly get back to me if you are interesting for allow me investing this funds to your company. I am looking forward to hear from you. I need your failtful assistant, please read this mail and get back to me immediately.I decided to investing the whole money into your company.

Please contact me on this my second emai: ritalinus@hotmail.fr

Thank you once again.

Yours Deafuly,
Miss Rita Linus

Dear Deaf Girl,

I could possibly be sorry for your predicament. Please send a head shot and at least 2 full body shots from different angles so that I can determine whether or not I care.

STOP INTERNET PORNOGRAPHY

I'm Glad I'm a Boy, I'm Glad I'm a Girl

So I was introduced to my favorite book in a class where my professor was trying to make the point about texts being a relic through which we can study the social atmosphere at the time the text was produced because several prevailing social attitudes will be present in the text. Anyway, that said the reason it is my favorite book is because i think that it is funny. So funny. It is a children's book and it is absolutely sexist. I am not sure if it is trying to make some sort of ironic point or if it is straightforward sexist. I guess you would have to know more about Whitney Darrow Jr. to answer that. I have a digital copy of all of the pages that I got by request from my professor, and one of my good good friends printed it up at Kinko's and made a pseudo book for me for my birthday, so if anyone wants to read it just let me know.

Or you can buy it on the internet for $249.95.

No, for reals that is the going rate. It's not everyday that you find a children's book that has increased in value about 50,000%.

By the way, it is called
I'm Glad I'm a Boy, I'm Glad I'm a Girl.
