Life with kids

I got this fabulous offer: just answer to a few questions, and I'd be given lots of stuff.

Hmm.

This was marketed by spam. No indication who is behind this marvellous offer is to be found in the www-site, and the domain was registered just a few days ago.

I have to admit, the spammer's Finnish is pretty good. You can check it at here until it's gone

I'm gonna be so rich by answering all those questions!

Edit: Further study and thinking showed, that the pages are not Elisa's. They belong to their customer. Funny anyway.

 Over at Elisa (one of Finlands biggest telcos) they've decided to really hit the search engines. If you look at http://elisanet.fi/polyfoniset.soittoaanet/ you'll find for example these strings (translations in italics):

Keynoter.com reports: “Scuba tanks can explode for various reasons, but the most common cause is from being out of hydrostatic test date, or out of visual inspection date. Both tests check for cracking in the neck of the tank and ensure its structural integrity.” Details here: http://www.keynoter.com/articles/2004/08/06/news/news17.txt

Interesting. Missing a test is a reason for explotion? I thought that you’d need some structural damage as well.

A bit more subtle mistake is the one often seen in Finnish newspapers: “The car accident was caused by slippery road”. Slippery road my trousers. I have yet to see an accident caused by slippery road. The accident occurs because the driver didn’t take the current road conditions into account.

Ran into this article about harassing bums.

I got SO angry when reading the article. What an insensitive guy the writer is. Fortunately I managed to read to the end of the article before writing a response (after reading the whole thing I didn't feel any need to).

After that it was pretty funny reading the comments the readers made. Many (most?) of them didn't read the article thru.

This reminds me of the old times when I ran a bbs using a 1200bps modem: people don't read more than first half of the screen they're presented with. It really doesn't matter what you write after that
