First scam story of the year It is important enough to be reported here. This time, the very kind sir James Bagora wants my humble and confidential assistance to take custody of THIRTY (in uppercase in the text in case I lost my glasses... ) Million United States Dollars.
According to the email, Mister Bagora is the son of the late president of The federal Republic Of Zaire, President Mobutu Sese Seko... Note that, according to ->this site, the dear sir is also a former Central Bank of Zimbabwe treasury protocol officer.
Regarding ->scams, I recommend that you read ->How to become rich dotcom which I found quite funny.

Debugging Santa Claus Ok, I'm a little late on this one but It could be helpfull next year. If you have problems with Santa Claus, this little guide called ->The sicence of Christmas is for you. This analysis purports to debunk Christmas by showing that Santa could not possibly visit each and every house to distribute presents on Christmas Eve. But the analysis is deeply flawed because it is written from a pure physics perspective.
