I don't know why, but this got me earwormed with "I Wanna Be Just Like You" from Jungle Book.

Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Random fact of the day: See's Candy is a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary, and has been since 1972.
I did not know that.

OK, the Nigerian scam emails aren't even trying anymore, just got one saying, "I'm Mrs. Bintu Mahmood, contact my lawyer So-and-so." That's it. Please, if you're going to scam me, at least put together a clever cover story of political unrest, hidden gold shipments, and weeping orphaned children.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Now I wanna see an Onion article on existentialist Nigerian scammers....

I didn't know that either! But I'm not at all surprised. I am surprised I didn't know it, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister got a Nigerian-scam-style email in the name of one of our cousins. That's creepy on a number of levels. I didn't know they did them with non-Africans, to start off with.

I like what I've heard of Berkshire Hathaway: "You're making money, I want to buy your company so you can continue doing exactly what you're doing so you can make more money that we can share."
