    I've found another! I scanned it and got this message:
    Virus W32.Yaha.K@mm found.

    The e-mail was called Patch for Elkern.gen from "McAfee Inc." <av_patch@mcafee.com>

    The message was


    BEWARE!!!

    On a side note, I got another virus in my e-mail. The same old virus as before, but by a new guy (or maybe not): "Plus 6" <sales@real.com>

    The message was

    The file was Plus6.scr

    BEWARE!!!

    I got 2 viruses lately one was about music charts the othe rwas titled junior's achievement.

    Oh and today I was offered 2,4million$ and I denied. Someone sent me an email that he's dying, has 24million stashed away, wants me to collect it and will pay me 10% for it. Hilarious. I wonder if anyone is actually stupid enough to fall in for that one.

    Enough people have fallen for the Nigerian scam (American's mostly) that the FBI have some sort of special branch that deals exclusively with it. So yes, people have fallen for it. I've been offered up to $70 million though, so I think that in a world where all of this comes true, I'm a fuckload richer than you.

    Hey, that rhymes.

    I also think that people who fall for these kinds of schemes (or for e-mail viruses) shouldn't be allowed to use the internet. They usually manage to make me laugh, though... "My name is general so-and-so from some African country. Before the coup, we took away 70 gazillion and we need a reliable western partner to transfer the money. So we're asking you, a poor pot-smoking physics student".

    Dammit, I sometimes notice that against all logic I still do think there are limits to human stupidity. Oh well, what a pity we do need epsylon-minus people in society. :)

    Btw today I got a lousy "offer" to get a new siemens mobile if I send the email I got to 8 or 20 people. Are they trying to offend me? I was offered 2,4m$ yesterday - I don't need their pity.

    Ack! How could anybody watch it just once?! I've already seen TTT three times! :D

    ....


    I think I'll go watch Fellowship now.

    Either that, or I could get off my ass and start declining verbs in latin.

    For my exam. Which is tomorrow.
