Here are some random things that may be good for a chuckle:

Nice use of Google. A gal just can’t be too careful. (This article was sent to me by a certain M., who I may have mentioned. So far, no FBI listing shows up in Google for him.)

I got the following mail from MRS ALIFAT SALIYU:

St’ Mary’s Catholic Church,
Amadu Bello way,
Kaduna.
Beloved In Christ,
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am Mrs Afsat Salisu, a widow to Late Musiliu Salisu, I am 65years old, I am now a new Christian convert, suffering from long time cancer of the breast. From all indications, my condition is seriou
s and according to my doctor it is quite obvious that I may not survive the sickness, although as a Christian, I believe God and I know that I will not die, I will leave to declare the glory of God. My late husband and my only son were killed during the
Kaduna Crisis some years back and I am presently Leaving alone. Our Lord Jesus Christ is my comforter.
I have the sum of $15,000,000.00(Fifteen million US Dollars) The fund is in cash, packaged in Consignments deposited with a Security Company for safety and security reasons Presently all the documents concerning the consignments are with my Lawyer. Now t
hat my sickness has gone to this stage, I am scared I might die any time therefore wish that the fund be used to the glory of God. This money is the proceeds from the sale of properties and shares and physical cash I inherited from my late husband.I have
prayed and I told God to direct me to a honest Christian who will receive this fund and utilize it for things that will glorify the name of God.
After my prayers, I searched the Christian sites in the internet, I found your email address and I decided to contact you. Please if you are honest and faithful enough to use this fund strictly for the work of God, please send to me your full names and a
ddress of your ministry to enable me give it to my lawyer for immediate arrangement with the security company on how the consignments that contained the fund will be delivered to you.
Thanks and God bless you while waiting to hear from you.
Mrs Afsat Salisu.

However did she come to realize that my site is, of course, a Christian one. Unless you interpret “Christian” as having something to do with believing in Jesus as the Son of God and the trilogy and one holy and apostolic church and that kind of thing. In which case, Mrs. Salisu seems to have made a mistake.

And, here’s a weird reality check kind of thing — Twice now, someone has given me an object with an image that consists of a huge cluster of identical or similar lady bugs, and one walking away that’s a different color. Apparently, people perceive me as a non-conformist. What the fuck is up with that? I swear I’m the same.

Interestingly, in a synchronicity kind of way, lady bugs are named after “Our Lady” aka Jesus’ mom. So yeah, I’m all about Christianity.
