Good News, The Son of the Deposed King of Nigeria Wants to Give Me Money!!!

It seems like a lot of the news shows are doing stories on Internet scams. Even Dateline took a break from their popular "To Catch a Predator" theme and developed a couple of shows appropriately titled to, "To Catch a ID Thief."

Though the different shows do a pretty good job of reporting the stories and giving tips on how to avoid being scammed, they don't do a very good job of showing us how to humiliate these people. That is why this web-site is such a good site to visit when you are looking for some time to kill.

419 Eater is a web-site devoted to baiting these scammers into thinking they are gullible Americans that are ripe for the picking. They then get into e-mail conversations and try to make the Nigerian scammers do ridiculous things. A popular thing to do is make the people grab random things and take pictures of themselves. The picture above is sent in from a Nigerian who thinks he is talking to the Pastor from a church called The Fish and Bread Church. In order for the Pastor to give them money, he had to show the parish a picture of the people they were going to help.

You can spend a lot of time looking at all the stories. It even shows you how to help out if you want to bait some of these scammers. Enjoy the link.

For All The Office Fans Out There.

We here at Dink & Flika are very big fans of the television show The Office, both the British and US versions. However, there is no way we are bigger fans then the creator of this web-site. He basically takes every episode of the Office and transcribes it for everyone to see.

If you ever find yourself wondering what that funny quote was, or what the opening scene was for a particular episode then this is the site for you. I found this site via the Pop Candy blog, so when you get a chance check this out.

Bracket Help - Right on Time

Thought I would post this interesting web-site I found on Break.com. Now that we have all turned our brackets in it won't help that much, but it is fun to play with and maybe you can use it next year. Oh yeah it is also sponsored by Coke Zero, William's favorite drink.
