Implicit Truths

I was offered a bonus from the “Central Bank of Nigeria” recently, under a section that was amended six years before it was brought into existence. As interesting as that bit is, the bank did claim that they did trade between cotinents - and I am not a tinent, co or otherwise, so I had to decline. If any of you would rather take Dr. John Williams up on his offer then please do send in all of your most sensitive details (you wouldn’t want them to be accidentally mixed up so that someone else gets their account stolen, would you?) for a weird process described only as “verificationa”. Sharing is caring.

Meanwhile, the advertisement underneath this nice offer seems to be for a Spanish ISP owned by T-Mobile. I didn’t know Nigeria was part of Spain these days. Ah well.

Maybe George could use the money to buy himself a new laptop. Splurging, I see. It’ll be good if it’s not as Linux-compatible as his HP Compaq NX 7300.
