Feelin' like a Tuesday roundup:
- This morning's Slate article "The Nigerian Nightmare" passes along the shocking news that those Nigerian "419" scam letters actually come from Nigeria, and that the whole shady enterprise brings in enough cash to place it among the country's top five industries.
- In all-important Google news, I have unfortunately fallen to #3 in both the "illuminated" and "Donkey" rankings, but have somehow become the #6 result for Harper's editor Lewis Lapham, which is especially odd considering that I haven't written anything about him for ten months. The Goog works in mysterious ways.
- Jim Treacher changed a couple of words in a Doonesbury strip about blogging and somehow let slip the dogs of nitpicking. Update: Mr. TFG somehow manages to keep track of the crossfire in one of his SIXTEEN FREAKING POSTS today.
- Mike Whybark shook hands with a blue-paint-covered naked supermodel.
