Nigerian Scammer Gets the Laptop He Deserves

wiredmikey writes "After switching to a Mac recently, I decided to put my old laptop up for sale to help recoup a little of the Mac cost. I received an email almost immediately from a girl named Rebecca and we had this email exchange." My favorite part is the fake letter from the FBI demanding tracking numbers.

    Ditto.

        It's all about the shooters control of the weapon. Vertically aligned, there is lots of strength against the recoil. There isn't as much horizontally. The "kick" is up relative to the weapon, due to the fact that you're always holding it below the center of force.

        For those who don't understand, go to the gym. On a machine where you can fully extend your arm, such as a machine for the biceps, push and see how much you can push straight up. Then try a machine where you are pushing across your chest. Unless you've been exercising specifically to strengthen those muscles (and ignoring the others) you will see a significant difference. ... and, yes, it's harder to see through the sights. :) I'd give a description, but I don't usually sit at the computer with a weapon in hand, unless I'm expecting some unwelcome company. The black van left a couple days ago, so I think I'm safe.

        Hmmm, what was that noise on the back porch?
