Adidas Demon: The summer wind, came blowin' infrom across the sea.It lingered there to touch your hairand walk with me.All summer longwe sang a songand then we strolled that golden sand,Two sweethearts and the summer wind.Like painted kites, those days and nights, they went flyin' by.The world was new beneath a blue umbrella sky,Then softer than a piper manone day it called to youI lost you, I lost youto the summer wind.The autumn wind and the winter winds, they have come and gone.And still the days, those lo

dupe n. An easily deceived person.
A person who functions as the tool of another person or power.

A variant of the Nigerian spam that I found in my mail today:

From: "Elizabeth C"
Subject: RE;
Date: Thu, 08 Dec 2005 11:22:53 +0000

From: Mrs.Elizabeth Cusova.
Chisinau,Repuplic Of Moldova

Hello Sir/Madam,
Please forgive me if this message comes to you as a surprise I was divinely inspired to pick your name among other names found in the Internet database, after series of prayers and God's direction.

I am Mrs.Elizabeth Vladimir Cusova a citizen of Repuplic Of Moldova.I was a farmer by profession. But currently undergoing medical treatment. I was married to Dr. Cusova Vladimir who was a sucessfull business man.We went on vacation to India when the when he hard an attack and we came back home. My husband later died of the attack and a sickness know as Haemorrhage of the brain due to sock.We have been married for eleven years without a child.

However, before we went on this Vacation, my late husband deposited the sum money with a deposit firm in Europe, But nobody knew about the money apart from me and my late husband he loves me so much that he tells me any time he does. Last week, my Doctor told me that I would not live for the next three months due to my cancer of the heart problem which sparked off as a result of the death of my husband whom I have loved so much. Though what disturbs me most is my disability to move around due to a partial paralysis. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or a mosque or better still a Christian or a Moslem individual that will utilize this money for charity,orphanages. Also for the victims that survive the Tsunami incidence.

I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband's and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be mis-used. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner,hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death because I know that I am going to die one day.

If you feel you are worthy enough to make yourself available in this project, let me know immediately you read my mail. GOD will surely provide for you the power and strength to accomplish this Waiting for your urgent response. Please forward your response to this email:elizabeth_c9000@yahoo.co.uk because I find it very easy to access.

Thank you and God bless.

Yours sincerely,
Mrs.Elizabeth Vladimir Cusova


My faith in the fitness of mankind wavers when I consider that a scam like this could actually work. If my email addy was the answer to prayers, that is a god with a great sense of humor. All the grasps for pity totally missed me, although I am concerned about what "Haemorrhage of the brain due to sock" is, given my penchant for changing mine 3-4 times a day. I hope the email addy page scrapers spam her good. >:D
