Now you too can enjoy my Inbox without the annoying spam. Every week I get some amazing e-mail. Some amazing because of the sheer cluelessness of the sender, some because of the time and energy that went into crafting them and some are just simply amazing.

One reader wonders why she's getting so many e-mails from the Nigerian Billionaire...

Brian, Mr. Ayele need your help!!!
I have been corespondig with Esenam Ayele for some time now, and he is in TROUBLE!!! A few days ago he through a party on his estate, and he as well as all of his friends were thrown in JAIL. Everyone with access to his bank accounts were arrested with him.
If this happened in the United States this would not be a problem. We would just use a credit or ATM card, only in Africa they don't have ATM machines.
I have sent all of the money I can to Mr. Ayele, but it was not enough. Mr. Ayele and his barley legal twin daughters who desperately want to meet me are still rotting in jail.
If you and your readers can get him and his family out of jail, he will let us all in on the ground floor of his new herbal Viagra busness. I have tried it my self and it is GREAT! You just smoke these little magic rocks in a special glass pipe, and everything is just fantastic. I cant wait to get some more. I think I could make tons of money just selling it to my friends. If we could get the FDA to approve it we could be TRILLIONARES!!!!!
If you want to help please have all of your readers send anything they can to Esenam's good friend Ralf T Dog. You can get hold of him at xxxxx at ralfthedog . com.
Thanks and have a nice day.
This, of course, is not a true BBeliever.
Baby Day
One reader was inspired by this BBlooper to write a short piece on babies...

Gerbernator: Rise of the Babies
Finally, a corporation has seen the light and begun to take measures to deal with this "baby" scourge.
The filthy little things are everywhere: shopping centres, restaurants, theatres, even hospitals. They even plague our motorways; though the telling "On Board" signs have declined as the Babies wise up, the number of car seats strapped into the back of minivans continues to rise, furthering their stinky, moist agenda. The Baby menace has infiltrated, even saturated the mass media, filtering all the way down to packs of Dunhills, their pudgy, leering faces questionning and threatening the most basic of civil rights: the right to give yourself cancer and to take as many people with you as possible, especially Babies.
I'd like to believe that society has been making strides against this menace; alas it's clear that their political and economic influence has so corrupted our leadership that the Baby threat is now widely regarded as something "positive". They may appear benign, even cute or helpless, but these are merely tactics to lull us into a mistaken sense of security before yet another Baby DROPS THE BIG ONE. Duct tape or Tamiflu or Talcum Powder won't save us. Yet this single ray of hope among our corporate elite proves that the resistance is still strong, if only for today. Babies... *shudder* ... so many babies...
That's all for this week!
