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.
BBelievers
It's hard to believe it's been over a year since our story about the teen using MySpace to lure bands to Los Angeles, but it still snagged some BBelievers...
Congrats dude, i hope it works out!!!
I have my doubts.

How do I get SP 1 for Vista (XP)
Either he's a BBeliever, or he thinks I work for Microsoft support. I'm not sure which is worse.

Thank you for the wonderful review of the iPhone vs. the gPhone. I
don't have pancreatic cancer, but if I do develop it, it's comforting
to know the iPhone will be there for me.
I must point out something regarding the super-power comparison,
though. The iPhone also imparts telekinesis to the owner:

So that category should be a tie.
PWNED!
Mighty Mouse
I linked to a story about genetically enhanced mice that could run twice as far as regular mice. I made the comment that it would show up in the NFL soon. Of course, I missed the obvious application of this technology, but that's what I have readers for...

NFL Players with the modified gene? Ha!
How about soldiers who can run twice as far and are "more aggressive"?
Try reading some of the Dorsai books by Gordon R. Dickson to see what
an enhanced military could be capable of.
