So basically, she thinks that her relative is in Nigeria and asks her for $400k. She thinks that the "relative" is going to pay her back in 20 million. The funny thing is, she wouldn't listen to her family, the bank, the FBI (who told her this is an obvious scam) and she did it anyway. She didn't listen to the FBI's recommendation that she should at least transfer the money to a traceable account. The funnier thing is supposedly she got two letters, one from the president of US and one from president of Nigeria who asked her for her help, and the letters were all misspelled and everything. lol
+ Show Spoiler +
The things people do for money, human greed blinds everything I guess + Show Spoiler + Even the black reporter told her that she doesnt have a relative in Nigeria lol.
On a side note, the 2nd scam is even funnier. Plumber comes in to warn an old woman that the house is going to explode if she doesnt stand there and keep holding the flush down and goes over her house to steal $3000+. I wonder why the old lady didn't think "Hmm I hear the plumber going through the rooms in my house and I hear stuff being opened, I wonder what kind of job the plumber is doing??"

Anyone heard about these? Well my friend apparently has one and I laid on it...it is extremely comfortable
I want to buy one but I'm looking for around the price range of $40~50
I've looked on ebay, target, walmart websites and when I read some reviews, some of them are not the memory foam that they claim to be. So I'm kind of having a hard time trying to buy one, if anyone has a specific model or website they use to buy one, please recommend me
my back hurts from sleeping in a crappy bed so help asap!

In the spirit of Halloween, I was itching to watch some horror films. I'm very familiar with American/Asian horror films. Usually, the spirit haunting horror films freak me out more than the serial killer films.
Anyway, I just landed on this official movie site with their opinion on their 31st Top Scariest Movies of all time: http://www.moviefone.com/insidemovies/2007/10/31/best-horror-movies/
Here is what I thought of it:
+ Show Spoiler +
Too many old horror films up there. I know that old films can be appreciated but not in terms of horror movies. Mainly because if you watch those films today, you will notice how fake/lame some costume/make up are. Exorcist(old version) at top 5? Lol. I was happily eating food while watching that movie.
Anyone know of any good site that lets you watch free movies? Youtube works but rarely does it have full length and its still hard to find on there
What are some of the scariest horror films you've watched that left you trembling? I rented Exorcism of Emily Rose few months ago, popped in the DVD in my computer to watch, saw the DVD Title Menu, got freaked, and returned the DVD without watching the movie

I know someone posted this thread earlier about trying to make a macro map where you have something in the center that just kills all your units but search button has been not friendly to me
Can anyone recommend me / link me to a UMS map where you can somehow kill your units so you can constantly produce? Or any maps that are designed to practice your Macro
P.S. Oh and if anyone has any scourge micro maps, I will seriously appreciate it

Although there is no real APM License to play any race, it feels like I'm not a "mature" zerg player if my APM is not over 200. I know that APM doesn't determine much but it is an issue with myself, letting myself know how much I've improved over these past months.
Well basically, after I quit playing Protoss (my 1st race), my APM was around 120~130. I kept playing little by little, and improved to 140 around. And from this point, no matter what I did, my APM would not go up. And there was a thread in TL.net about some guy who kept practicing verse computers with the sole intention of raising APM and he said that it actually paid off. Well I did the same thing, I saved the replays as "APM1" "APM2" and measured it afterwards.
From then on, my APM shot up to 180~190. And after having a lan game with my roommate, I realized that it consistently goes up to a bit over 200 today. VAPM 200+ I believe.
I know that this kind of blog sounds like bragging but I feel like my past games of starcraft kind of paid off and I am feeling sadly, but surely proud of myself. To think, a pro gamer with my APM as a zerg can own leagues (cough savior)
Its not a big deal but I just had to get my rant out of the system. Thanks for listening
