HIDE THE CATTLE!

Dem dere aliens are a'comin' for us! They gonna kill the cows and shove weird probes up our poopers! They're coming for us! They'll enslave us all and take our valuable natural resources, like Jenna Jameson!

Wait, you mean those aren't natural?

As I hide from Tito Ortiz, I'm pondering scams. Its kinda funny that I got a Nigerian e-mail and then sure enough something else caught my eye. Yes, it's another YouTube video. Just shut up and watch.



So, is it real? I'm doubting it. It's certainly cool looking. Still, let's consider what movie was just such a massive hit at the movie theaters. AVATAR was mostly a CGI-fest. The tech has gotten to point that computer generated images can look real enough to fool a person.

We have gotten to the point that video footage isn't enough proof anymore. The video above needs to be taken somewhere reputable and analyzed before it could even be considered as hard evidence. The future is a tricky place.

So no, I don't think its an extraterrestrial spacecraft. I made jokes about cattle mutilations, and while gross I know what happens to a dead cow if it's left exposed long enough. As for crop circles, speaking as a guy who lived near a field where crop circles were found and 'experts' said that they couldn't be man made, I know they're fake. I know one of the guys who made them.

Still, doesn't explain how I woke up in that field with a sore keister and why it occasionally beeps.

Universal Constants

The world is changing around us as we speak. New technologies are being developed. Governments are making policies and implementing them. Artists are imagining new way to inspire people and capture their imaginations. Still in this amazing world where change seems to be the only constant an e-mail this morning has reminded me that some things never change.

Good day dear Friend,

How are you doing today? Hope your doing very much fine over there including your family.

Please kindly accept my apology for sending this unsolicited mail to you. I believe you are a highly respected personality, considering the fact that I source your profile from a human resource profile database on your country. Though, I do not know to what extent you are familiar with this event.

I am Barrister Korede Ogunkoya (SAN) Solicitor and Notary Public. I am the Personal Attorney to (MR. MACK C. LUDLOW), of who is a Foreign Nationality, who used to work with shell Development Company in Nigeria.

On the 21st of April 2003, my client died in his car accident along Sagamu/Lagos Express road. Unfortunately, he lost his lives in the event of the accident, since then I have made several inquiries to locate any of my clients extended relatives and this has also proved unsuccessful.

Then I contacted you dear friend, I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where these huge deposits were lodged. Particularly, the Bank where the deceased had an account valued at about 7.5, million dollars. Consequently, the bank issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over some years now, I seek your consent to present you as the Next of Kin of the Deceased since you share the same surname so that the proceeds of this account valued at US 7.5, million dollars can be paid to you for both of us to share the money; 50% to me and 45% to you, while 5% should be for expenses or tax as your government may require.

I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to back up the claim. All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this deal through, also if I do not contact you the bank will definitely confiscate the fund for their own benefit and all I have labored for him will become in vain.

Honestly speaking I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and me from any breach of the law.
Note that I am not trying to lure you into fraudulent business because of what the world are experiencing globally , and I am not just a witness to the fund but signatory to the fund when it was been Deposited in the bank by my Late Client before his sudden Death.

Be assured that I will effect every necessary Documents of Change Of Ownership that will authenticate this transaction on your name as soon as I hear from you, also I am still assuring you that it is 100% risk free. So you need not to be afraid.

Trusting To Hear From You As Soon As Possible.

Thank and God Bless.
Barrister Korede Ogunkoy(SAN)

Oh you zany Nigerians! Shine on you crazy blood diamonds!
