Nigerian Spammers vs. Cthulhu
Here is
a truly inspired exchange of email -- between a 419 fraudster from
Nigeria ("Dr David Ehizojie, the principal partner of David, Ayo & Co.
Chambers") who made the mistake of trying to obtain the bank account
details of "Randolph Carter" ("an anthropological researcher
with Miskatonic University, in Arkham").
Recently, in the course of researching the belief systems of some obscure
Polynesian cultures, I came across some fragmentary references to a god
"Cthulhu." After more research, I found scattered references to Cthulhu
in Egyptian, Mongolian, and several African cultures. I would ask you,
since you are from Nigeria, if you're familiar with the name Cthulhu,
possibly pronounced something like "Kloo-loo." If you are, I would
appreciate it if you could send me any information.
Hours of endless, if not aeons of deathless, fun ensue ...
