Check This Out

Here are a couple of amusing websites that you, dear reader, might enjoy.

First check out this, a collection of useful French phrases. Not "what time is it?" or "where's the bathroom?" What you need to know is ce restaurant n'est pas aussi bon que le McDonald's ("this restaurant isn't as good as McDonald's"), vos enfants sont très beaux--ils sont adoptes? ("your kids are beautiful--are they adopted?") and parle à mon cul, ma tête est malade ("stop bothering me" or, literally, "speak to my ass, I have a headache.")

Then there's this, a "scambaiting" site, engaging Nigerian email scammers and the like. They contact them and get them to do things (and, obviously, never send them money). I usually leave such stuff alone, but these people have gotten pro-active.
