More implausible spam

A wee bit creepy
I just got two copies of the same spam about 11 minute apart (never a good sign), and this one has a particularly bizarre premise. Some fellow claiming to have been a former archbishop in the Catholic church apparently has $7.2 million that he wants to pass along to me so I can continue his good works on behalf of homeless children.

First, how many archhbishops are going to have $7.2M(!) lying around in their personal bank accounts? He claims to have inherited it from his dad, but even if that were true I doubt it would be sitting around in a random bank account for him to reassign without the church taking an interest.

Second, how many people get to the level of archbishops (and have dads who are oil and diamond tycoons) and don’t know a better way to manage that kind of money than e-mailing random strangers and hoping for the best!

Sorry – gotta go – I appear to have won three or four major international lotteries in the last few minutes…

Let’s record some random crap and put it on the web

Bambi Meets Godzilla movie image
I’m sorry, but we’ve gone and done something silly: Sub-Evil Boy and I made our first podcast.

This is pretty rough and goofy stuff, so waste the bandwidth at your own peril. This episode features the two of us totally butchering a fine pair Christmas carols (I’m particularly amused by what we did with “Deck the halls” at the very end), and a perhaps slightly over-long “news” report on the demise of Godzilla followed by a discussion of the great short the classic short Bambi meets Godzilla (I got the names reversed in our discussion).

I have no idea if we’ll ever do another one of these again. It was way too amusing, but I could hardly describe the results as high art. It was also somewhat time consuming which made it easier to pull off on Christmas eve than during the chaos of “real life”. I’m also not entirely sure that WeatherGirl will continue to allow us to remain in the house if we continue to produce these insults to human intelligence, but we’ll have to wait and see :-).

If you really want to suffer you can use stuff our RSS feed link into a Podcast capable thingy like iTunes and get automatic updates. Sorry about that. Really.
