You've Been Had.

by Alex Rieneck

We all know about how people get duped on the Internet. "Idiots" send their life savings to Nigeria or Russia, "computer illiterates" donate all their personal details and credit card numbers to shifty operators who might be in China, and "naive" people invariably end up paying a high price for their credulity.

It is a hard subject to report sensibly because those who have never been taken in crow loudly, and those who have usually maintain an embarrassed silence. Until now. Follow the link to a story and series of screen-grabs that will have your head swimming in any number of ways.

And remember, next time it could be you. Be careful out there.

Did You Know?

Only the Bedouin really know how to barbecue

You will be very hard pressed out doing the Bedouin people when it comes to celebrating a wedding. The traditional wedding feast is a spit roast.

I've come across a few variations on the recipe, though the following steps give you the idea:


  • prepare one boiled egg
  • stuff the egg into a chicken
  • stuff chicken into a lamb
  • stuff the lamb into a goat
  • stuff the goat into a camel
  • spike the camel onto the spit and set over a charcoal fire (preferably in in an open desert area)

A combination of garlic, coriander and butter appears to be a popular choice in the cooking of this mighty feast.

Now, have I told you about this old woman that swallowed a fly...
