    They probably taste delicious. That special claw can't compete with a pair of metal tongs.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    I've eaten that many times back in China. It's not too uncommon there. The taste is a little different from real shrimp in that the meat is stiffer.

    Yep, they'll get you and dismember you alright. All 21 appendages.

    You know what? Sometimes those "pass this email on" aka SPAM mail are actually worth reading.

    GPS warning

    This gives us something to think about with all our new electronic
    technology.

    GPS
    A couple of weeks ago a friend told me that someone she knew had their
    car broken into while they were at a football
    match. Their car was parked on the green which was adjacent to the
    football stadium and specially allotted to football fans. Things
    stolen from the car included a garage door remote control, some money
    and a GPS which had been prominently mounted on the dashboard.

    When the victims got home, they found that their house had been
    ransacked and just about everything worth anything had
    been stolen.


    The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. They then used
    the garage remote control to open the garage
    door and gain entry to the house. The thieves knew the owners were at
    the football game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to
    finish and so they knew how much time they had to clean up the house. It
    would appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of
    its contents.

    MOBILE PHONE

    I never thought of this.......
    This lady has now changed her habit of how she
    lists her names on her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her
    handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet...
    Etc... Was stolen.

    20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a
    pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says 'I received your
    text
    Asking about our Pin number and I've replied a
    little while ago.'

    When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff
    told them all the money was already withdrawn. The thief had
    actually used the stolen cell phone to text 'hubby' in the contact
    list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had
    withdrawn all the money from their bank account.

    Moral of the lesson:
    Do not disclose the relationship between you and
    the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey,
    Hubby,
    Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc.... And very
    importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts,
    CONFIRM by calling back. Also, when you're being text by friends or
    family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that
    the message came from them. If you don't reach them, be very careful
    about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.
    Honestly, that mobile thing should be common sense. Texting your PIN that is, but the GPS one was interesting. Sucks to be the houseowner too.

    That text message thing certainly was nothing but carelessness but still a very believable oversight by people used to nothing going wrong.

    GPS-garage remote combination was a nasty oversight. However, it wouldn't have mattered either if the people had had a burglar alarm system. Maybe they will install one with their insurance money... (Not that they would have anything to protect anymore, though, haha.)

    Wow, a racist web browser. Does it check to see if you're black before it lets you download it?


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    I'd pass an ebonics test fo' sheezy ma heezies. That browsa would be good as installed, yo!

    Funny thing is, if some whiteys tried to promote a caucasian-centric web browser, it would be labeled "racist."

    Double standards for $2000, Alex.

    no secret that spam is rampant...

    this makes me want to switch to a service like postini so that spam is filtered before entering the network. so bassically... 2/3 of the hard disk space used on the exchange server is filled w\ logs of spam messages.

    Yeah, that fish certainly has even weirder eyes than some of the clans in Naruto.

    Yeah, I saw that a long time ago. There was a decent response site to it which i though was fairly funny:
    Whitebird Browser
