  1. Re:Check out the hilarious Nigerian Spam responses by dr_canak · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    This is slightly off topic, but

    I checked out the site, and while funny, the letters where he gets no replies don't compare to the book "Letters from a Nut" by Ted Nancy. You can find it at Amazon (or other online seller's I'm sure), including some page previews with the letters he writes and the responses he gets.

    I know it's not spam, but Ted Nancy's letters are *far* more clever than the spam responses this guy is writing. Funny, yes. But without the dialogue with the spammer, they really lose a lot. Check out the above book. *Very* funny stuff.
