Greetings,
As you read this, don't feel sorry for me, because it is the destiny of every Human being to die someday. I am Mr. Nabil Malik a naturalised Briton by birth and a business merchant presently undergoing treatment in Gibraltar.I have been diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer.
It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical Reports. I regret that I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself), but my trade. Though I am very well to do, I was never open handed; I was always hostile to people and regarded them like they never had hopes of becoming as successful as myself. Now I know that there is a lot more to life than just prosperity.
I believe that when I am given a second chance to come to this world, I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that death is eminent, I have willed and given most of my belonging to immediate and extended family members, as well as a few close friends. I want Allah to be merciful to me and accept my soul. Hence I have decided to support charity work; this is what i want to be remembered for. So far, I have been able to reach out to a few charity organizations in the Singapore, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore.
I once asked members of my family to aid me in giving of alms to those organizations catering for the less Privileged in Bulgaria and Pakistan; they refused and kept the resources to themselves. Hence, I do not trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contented with what I have left for them.
The last of my belonging which no Relative knows of,is the deposit of Eight Million US dollars (US$8,000,000.00) that I have in a safe Deposit company abroad, which I will want you to secure and bestow to charity organizations.
Please endeavour to reply me via email.For your time and devotion, I have set aside a tenth of this for you.May the good lord be with you.
Mr. Nabil Malik

A Charitable Con Trick
This is a new scam, well at least it is new to me anyway as I've certainly never before encountered a phishing scam email quite like this one. Myself, Gareth and Tony did get a good laugh out of reading it though. As always I have posted it exactly as I received it, typos and all. Enjoy!

What D&D Character Am I?
I Am A: True Neutral Human Sorcerer/Rogue (2nd/2nd Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength-13
Dexterity-10
Constitution-11
Intelligence-13
Wisdom-13
Charisma-11
Alignment:
True Neutral A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment because it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.
Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
Primary Class:
Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.
Secondary Class:
Rogues have little in common with each other. While some - maybe even the majority - are stealthy thieves, many serve as scouts, spies, investigators, diplomats, and simple thugs. Rogues are versatile, adaptable, and skilled at getting what others don't want them to get. While not equal to a fighter in combat, a rogue knows how to hit where it hurts, and a sneak attack can dish out a lot of damage. Rogues also seem to have a sixth sense when it comes to avoiding danger. Experienced rogues develop nearly magical powers and skills as they master the arts of stealth, evasion, and sneak attacks. In addition, while not capable of casting spells on their own, a rogue can sometimes 'fake it' well enough to cast spells from scrolls, activate wands, and use just about any other magic item.

State Of The Bob Address
So it's my birthday today. Another year of my life has passed me by without me having really achieved anything apart from grow a bit older. I tried to lose weight this year and for a time succeeded, but I'm pretty sure it's all come back home now. I certainly don't feel any slimmer anymore. I think my level of debt has decreased but not by much. Hopefully the court case that the the Office of Fair Trading began against the banks on Monday will resolve the disputed bank fees case and I can claim back the seven thousand pounds that HSBC has overcharged me over the past six years. That money would go a long way towards sorting out my life.
Despite all my efforts, I have been single all year long, and while I've had a few chats with women and even flirted a bit, nothing has come of any of it. I'm obviously hoping for better luck in the year to come, but I'm not exactly going to hold my breath on that score. No matter how optimistic I try to be about my prospects for finding a partner, something always brings reality into focus. Currently that would be my rather pitiful rating on the Hot or Not feature on my Facebook account, where after 60 votes I currently rate a dismal 3.4 out of 10! Not that that overly surprises me. I keep telling the people who tell me that I'm attractive, that if I was truly attractive, that people would be attracted to me... and nobody is!
Today will be spent the same way I've celebrated my birthday for the past few years, namely I'll be spending the day with my best friend Tony Searle (whose birthday it is also), and together we'll be grabbing lunch at Pizza Hut, followed by watching 2-3 movies back to back and then likely hitting the Hollywood Bowl for bowling and beers to round off the evening.
So that's it really, another year gone and pretty much wasted. I continue to plod on through life without any real aim or desire save to reach the end of it. Only in that sense can the past year be viewed as a sucess, as I am one year further along the path to the end of my life. Far too many more to go though it seems. Guess I'll just take them one year at a time same way everyone else does and maybe somewhere along the way I'll find a reason to wish they passed me by a bit slower than they do. But I didn't find her this year.

Sorry Lady, But I'm An Atheist!
Heh got another zany scam junk email today which I thought I'd share with the world. I have to admit, this is a novel angle that I've not encountered before. It's still really obviously a con trick though. Have a read of this:
From Mrs. Jessie castor
ENDEAVOR TO USE IT FOR THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
I am the above named person from Czech Republic. I am married to Mr. Jeffery castor who worked with Czech Republic embassy in Egypt for nine years before he died in the year 2006.We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christians. Since his death I decided not to re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 7.2 Million Dollars (seven Million two hundred thousand United State Dollars) with a Bank.
Presently, this money is still with the Bank Recently, My Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this Fund to church or better still a Christian individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. I want a church that will use these funds to fund churches, orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that gives. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner.
Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and because of the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this development.With God all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Bank, I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the original- beneficiary of this Fund. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church or Christian individual for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
Hoping to hear from you.
I have set aside 20% for your assistance and for your time and 10% for any expenses if there is any. Remain blessed in the name of the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs. Jessie castor

Blue Eyes
So I got sent this and felt... what the hell, worth a try. I mean it can't hurt, even if the following passage doesn't really describe me at all aside from the colour of my eyes.
People with blue eyes last the longest in relationships. They are kind, pretty or handsome, very good kissers and are really hot. They always fall in love with their closest friends and never understand why. They are very funny, outgoing and don't care what people think or say. They are very satisfying and love to please. Are straight up WARRIORS when necessary. If you repost this and you have blue eyes you will have the best kiss sometime in the next 5 days

T'was the Internet Night Before Christmas
Thought I would post an amusing modern version of this classic poem. Hope you enjoy it, I know it made me laugh.
T'was the Internet Night Before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Net,
There were hacker's a surfing. Nerds? Yeah, you bet.
The e-mails were stacked by the modem with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
The newbies were nestled all snug by their screens,
While visions of Java danced in their dreams.
My wife on the sofa and me with a snack,
We just settled down at my rig (it's a Mac).
When out in the Web there arose such a clatter,
I jumped to the site to see what was the matter.
To a new page my Mac flew like a flash,
Then made a slight gurgle. It started to crash!!
I gasped at the thought and started to grouse,
Then turned my head sideways and clicked on my mouse.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
My Mac jumped to a page that wasn't quite clear.
When the image resolved, so bright and so quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick!
More rapid than mainframes, more graphics they came,
Then Nick glanced toward my screen, my Mac called them by name;
"Now Compaq! Now Acer!", my speaker did reel;
"On Apple! On Gateway!" Santa started to squeal!
"Jump onto the circuits! And into the chip!
Now speed it up! Speed it up! Make this thing hip!"
The screen gave a flicker, he was into my "Ram",
Then into my room rose a full hologram!
He was dressed in all red, from his head to his shoes,
Which were black (the white socks he really should lose).
He pulled out some discs he had stored in his backpack.
Santa looked like a dude who was rarin' to hack!
His eyes, how they twinkled! His glasses, how techno!
This ain't the same Santa that I used to know!
With a wink of his eye and a nod of his head,
Santa soon let me know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, gave my Mac a quick poke,
And accessed my C drive with only a stroke.
He defragged my hard drive, and added a "Dimm",
Then threw in some cool games, just on a whim!
He worked without noise, his fingers they flew!
He distorted some pictures with Kai's Power Goo!
He updated Office, Excel and Quicken,
Then added a screensaver with a red clucking chicken!
My eyes widened a bit, my mouth stood agape,
As he added the latest version of Netscape.
The drive gave a whirl, as if it were pleased,
St. Nick coyly smiled, the computer appeased.
Then placing his finger on the bridge of his nose,
Santa turned into nothing but ones and zeros!
He flew back into my screen and through my uplink,
Back into the net with barely a blink.
But I heard his sweet voice as he flew from my sight,
"Happy surfing to all, and to all a good byte!"

I Won A Hoax Lottery!
A bit of a change in the type of junkmail I'm posting here today. This is another type I get sent with some regularity, namely the scam email that claims I've won a large sum of money and all I need to do is provide some details to claim it. These emails are entirely bogus, and the people running them will try to get you to part with your money for "administrative costs" and the like. You won't of course ever actually get your suppossed prize money. So without further ado from me, here's a new mail to have a laugh at:

A Letter From Ejner Andersen
Yep, I got another one of these scam emails in the post today. Have a read of the latest idiots efforts to part me from my money! As always I've posted the letter exactly how it came to me, with typos, line breaks etc intact. Ohh yeah and to be sure he got my attention, this loser sent me the same email 3 times!
Attention,
It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your co-operation and assistance in the context stated below, I am Mr.Ejner Andersen, the personal assistant to the Late Mr. Richard Williams. I got your contact during my search for a reliable person I could do business with, though I do not know you but I seek to ask a favor from you as this will sincerely benefit the both of us and all parties involved.
My Late Boss was an Executive Officer of a leading Oil and Servicing Firm for 10 years and he was retired on the 28th day of September 2006. After a month, He and his entire family died on their way to a Conference in an Automobile crash on the 11th day of November 2006.
Before his death my Boss had a total sum of $10,500,000.00(USD) with a Financier House in Europe, hoping of transferring the funds to his Country {United Kingdom} after his retirement as soon as he comes back from the conference. According to the {DEED OF WILL} made be my late Boss, He wrote {DEED OF WILL} that if anything should happen to him, that I should make sure I locate any of his family members.
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for close to a year now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased. I agree to pay you 50% of the fund as the account owner, 50% for me.
Please do provide the following information for the application processing.
1. Your full name:
2. Contact address:
3. Email:
4. Phone number for verbal communication:
5. Age (Date of Birth):
6. Occupation:
All this information will enable me write an application to the company on your behalf, and present you to the company as the real next of kin to my late Boss. All required is your honest cooperation to enable us seeing this business successful. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement which will protect you from any breach of the law.
Late Richard Williams was a very good man and it is not wise for me to allow his hard earned wealth to be stolen by the greedy directors of the Company. Please note that this email is with no intent of getting you upset in anyway but just a proposal I believe will be of mutual benefit to both of us. I strongly await your urgent response for effective process.
Regards,
Ejner Andersen.

A Politically Correct Christmas Poem
Anyone who knows me well will know (or should) that I hate political correctness. It is the art of taking a good intention and twisting it into a weapon and wielding it then with fanatical zeal. It is nothing short of insane to try to make two sexes into one essentially genderless society. We humans thrive on our differences. Women fascinate and entice us Men because they are different. Men enchant and seduce Women because they find us fascinating. And so the human race continues. But these days, what started out as a well meant intention to iron out a few creases in relationships between the sexes, has become a liberal crusade to undo what makes Men and Women what they are.
So here's a poem that I grabbed from the Alter Realm Message Boards, where it was posted by my very good friend Vickie. And it's a poem that to the tune of "Twas the Night Before Christmas", points out just how crazy this era of supposed Political Corectness is.
A Politically Correct Christmas Poem
Twas the night before Christmas and Santa's a wreck...
How to live in a world that's politically correct?
His workers no longer would answer to "Elves",
"Vertically Challenged" they were calling themselves.
And labor conditions at the North Pole,
were alleged by the union, to stifle the soul.
Four reindeer had vanished without much propriety,
released to the wilds, by the Humane Society.
And equal employment had made it quite clear,
that Santa had better not use just reindeer.
So Dancer and Donner, Comet and Cupid,
were replaced with 4 pigs, and you know that looked stupid!
The runners had been removed from his beautiful sleigh,
because the ruts were deemed dangerous by the EPA,
And millions of people were calling the Cops,
when they heard sled noises upon their roof tops.
Second-hand smoke from his pipe, had his workers quite frightened,
and his fur trimmed red suit was called "unenlightened".
To show you the strangeness of today's ebbs and flows,
Rudolf was suing over unauthorized use of his nose.
He went to Geraldo, in front of the Nation,
demanding millions in over-due workers compensation.
So...half of the reindeer were gone, and his wife
who suddenly said she'd had enough of this life,
joined a self help group, packed and left in a whiz,
demanding from now on that her title was Ms.
And as for gifts...why, he'd never had the notion
that making a choice could cause such commotion.
Nothing of leather, nothing of fur...
Which meant nothing for him or nothing for her.
Nothing to aim, Nothing to shoot,
Nothing that clamored or made lots of noise.
Nothing for just girls and nothing for just boys.
Nothing that claimed to be gender specific,
Nothing that's warlike or non-pacifistic.
No candy or sweets...they were bad for the tooth.
Nothing that seemed to embellish upon the truth.
And fairy tales...while not yet forbidden,
were like Ken and Barbie, better off hidden,
for they raised the hackles of those psychological,
who claimed the only good gift was one ecological.
No baseball, no football...someone might get hurt,
besides - playing sports exposed kids to dirt.
Dolls were said to be sexist and should be passe.
and Nintendo would rot your entire brain away.
So Santa just stood there, disheveled and perplexed,
he just couldn't figure out what to do next?
He tried to be merry he tried to be gay,
but you must have to be careful with that word today
His sack was quite empty, it was flat on the ground,
nothing fully acceptable was anywhere to be found.
Something special was needed, a gift that he might,
give to us all, without angering the left or the right.
A gift that would satisfy - with no indecision,
each group of people in every religion.
Every race, every hue,
everyone, everywhere...even you!
So here is that gift, it's price beyond worth...

A Letter From Peter Wong
Yay, another mail sent to me today. Have a read and a laugh at this moron's email. He can't even get his own name right!
DEAR FRIEND,
I am Mr.paul leech Executive Director of the Hang Seng
Bank Ltd, taiwan.An Iraqi named Besem Faruak,
a business man made a numbered fixed deposit of
(126,336,8299.38 hk) for 18 calendar months, this is
valued to Eigth milion United State Dollars only in
my branch.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even
during the war,four years ago (2003). Again after the
war another notification was sent and
still no response came from him. We later found out
that Besem Faruak, and his family had been killed
during the war in Gunfire that hit their
home at Mukaradeeb where his personal oil well was.
After further investigation it was also discovered
that Besem Faruak,
did not declare any next of kin in his official
papers including the paper work of his bank deposit.
And he also confided in me the last time we was
at my office that no one except me knew of his
deposit in my bank. So, Eigth milion United State
Dollars is still lying
in my bank and no one will ever come forward to
claim it. What bothers me is that according to the
laws of my country
at the expiration five years six months the funds will
revert to the ownership of the hong kong Government if
nobody
applies to claim the funds.
My proposal, I am prepared to place you as the next of
kin in a position to instruct HANG SENG BANK to
release the deposit to you as the closest
surviving relation. Upon receipt of the deposit, I am
prepared to share the money with you in half. That is:
I will simply nominate you as the
next of kin and have them release the deposit to
you. We share the procentange50/50.
I would have gone ahead to ask the funds be released
to me, but that would have drawn a straight line in
my involvement in claiming the
deposit.I assure you that I could have the deposit
released to you within a few days.
I will simply inform the bank of the final closing
of the file relating to Besem Faruak, I will then
officially communicate with my
Bank and instruct them to release the deposit to
you. With these: all is done.
I am aware of the consequences of this
proposal.should be interested in executing this with
me;
indicate your interest by sending me the following:
1. YOUR NAME
2. YOUR RESIDENT ADDRESS
3. YOUR OCCUPATION
4. YOUR PHONE NUMBER
5. DATE OF BIRTH
6. COUNTRY OF RESIDENT
Your response with the requested information should be
sent to reach me at my personal email address below:
peterwong_4@yahoo.com.hk
I shall then provide you with more details on this
operation when I hear from you.
Sincerely,
Mr.peter wong

A Letter From Patrick W. Chan
Yes it is another in a sort of series of blog posts detailing some of the blatantly fraudulent junk mail that I routinely get sent. This one arrived in my Homail account today. Have a read and a good laugh. I know I did!
Mr. Patrick W. Chan
Email: patrickwkchan_015@yahoo.com.hk
Good Day,
I am Mr. Patrick W. Chan. Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd. I have a concealed business suggestion for you.
Our client Gen. Samir Abi Rahman who was with the Iraqi forces and also businessman made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months before the U.S and Iraqi war, with a value of Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notices was sent to him, even during the war which began in 2003. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later found out that the General along with his wife and only daughter had been killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit their home.
After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Samir Abi Rahman did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration 5 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Gen. Samir Abi Rahman so that you will be able to receive his funds.
MODALITIES:
I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Gen. Samir Abi Rahman. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval from my country’s probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you. There is no risk involved at all in this matter, as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.
Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall then share in the ratio of 60% for me, 40% for you.
Should you be interested please send me your,
1, Full names,
2, private phone number,
3, current residential address,
and finally after that I shall provide you with more details of this operation.
Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Mr. Patrick W. Chan.

Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere)
I do like this song, as it is pure Meatloaf. Loud, a bit bombastic, with a catchy tune and unforgettable lyrics. Wish I had specific memories to go with this song, but it's just a song I like.
Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere) by Meatloaf
When the wind is howling through your window pane,
it's not the only pain of the night
You're burning up in your bed, you've got a fever of love,
and there's not an antibody in sight
Hey Jenny, Jenny, why are you crying?
There's a beauty of a moon in the sky
But I guess when you've been leadin such a sheltered life,
you never lift your head and look so high
You don't have a lot
But it's all that you've got, and you can turn it into more than it seems
Just give it a shot, fantasise every movement,
and imagine every inch of your dream
No-one said it had to be real, but it's got to be something you can reach out and feel now
It ain't right, it ain't fair
Castles fall in the sand, and we fade in the air,
and the good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere
Good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere
Somebody told me so
Somebody told me, now I know
Every night in my prayer,
I'll be praying that the good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere
When the sweat is sizzling on your skin in the dark,
and you're desperate now for somewhere to turn
Every muscle in rebellion, every nerve is on edge,
and every limb has been erotic'ly burned
Hey Johnny, Johnny, why are you shaking,
when a boy should do whatever he can
You've been nothing but an angel every day of your life,
and now you wonder what it's like to be damned
You don't have a lot
But it's all that you've got, and you can turn it into more than it seems
Just give it a shot, fantasise every movement,
and imagine every inch of your dream
No-one said it had to be real, but it's got to be something you've been wanting to feel now
It ain't right, it ain't fair
Castles fall in the sand, and we fade in the air,
and the good boys go to heaven but the bad boys go everywhere
Good boys go to heaven but the bad boys go everywhere
Somebody told me so
Somebody told me, now I know
Every night in my prayer,
I'll be praying that the good boys go to heaven but the bad boys go everywhere
Every time I try and dream you,
I can't believe how hard it's been to conjure up your face and trace your body in the air
Oh the seconds go on for ever, but the thirds and the fourth ones are even better
Every time I do it just a little bit longer
Every time I dream it's just a little bit stronger, than real life
No-one said it had to be real, but it's got to be something you can reach out and feel now
It ain't right, it ain't fair
Castles fall in the sand, and we fade in the air,
and the good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere
Good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere
Somebody told me so

Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere

It's Action Force..
I used to love these toys as a kid, still love the characters and such nowadays. In the States the toyline/cartoon/comic book was called G.I. Joe, but over here the line was originally made by Palitoy, not Hasbro and was named Action Force with its own storylines and everything. These eventually changed to resemble the US line, and were finally replaced wholesale by them. The reason for this post is the awesome intro sequence to the British version of the cartoon. The American version had much the same lyrics but a far slower more plodding beat to it. Nothing at all like the far more impressive and upbeat sequence we had. See for yourself!
Also I've picked today to post this, because today is the 6th anniverssary of the World Trade Center attacks. The War on Terror continues with no real end in sight, and our leaders and generals seem to have no clear vision of how to win this war. I thought it'd be nice to see a counter terrorist unit that actually does the job it's suppossed too. Even if it is a fictional one.
