Btw, what’s a "fiducial agent’?

It’s an agent who helps you establish an absolute coordinate system. They tend to use theodolytes, sometimes even reticles.

I wasn’t sure it was a word, but according to the dictionary:

fi·du·cial, adj.

  1. Based on or relating to faith or trust.
  2. Relating to or characteristic of a legal trust; fiduciary.
  3. Having the nature of a trust; fiduciary; as, fiducial power
  4. Regarded or employed as a standard of reference, as in surveying.


Theodolytes? :astonished: Reticles?? :boggle: Oh great. Back to the dictionary. … :roll:

Little John

And don’t any of you go claiming my prize behind my back, do you hear?!

I’m sorry. Any and all inquiries may now be directed to my personal secretary, Mary Beth. If she’s unavailable, just ask for my butler, Jeeves. I’ll be too busy to answer while moving into my mansion. :smiley:

All the best,

Miss Mary Beth Johnson
On behalf of Little John

May I claim it for you and hold it in trust until you turn 18?

The only time I’ve heard the word fiduciary before it was being sung by Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins.

megatrust… Yeah, I really megatrust 'em.

Too bad the grammer, syntax and spelling is just a little better than that of a high school grad. The fact that they mention ticket numbers as significant and then claim selection from a pool of 500 million emails is the kicker though.

Blimey.

Yo, Bloo, where did you buy your ticket?

You know, the odd thing is, I don’t remember buying a ticket.

You ARE a lucky devil!

Well, be sure to e-mail the sender all of your bank account numbers, social security numbers and credit card numbers as soon as possible. A few signature specimens would probably be useful to them as well. Finally, you can throw in an umlimited power of attorney for those fine folks, just to make sure they have everything they need.

These simple measures will, without doubt, facilitate a real flurry of activity in your various accounts!

HURRY!

This reminds me. I’ve been getting quite a few offers lately regarding ordination, and I’m seriously thinking of going for it. I wouldn’t mind a little extra income from doing weddings and funerals.

I think it’s great how many wonderful opportunities are available to us on the Net.

By the way, Master Bloomfield, sir…You are gonna buy the whistle or flute of our choice for each of your good buddies here on C&F, arent’ you?

Don’t you feel moved to take out the entire Board for dinner and buy each of us a whistle or flute or two? It’s only fair and will ease your pangs of conscience over this surely undeserved and unfair good luck…

Best :smiley:

yes bloomy…PLEASE
and let those CF members with the low incomes line up in the row FIRST because otherwise they will feel passed, and they don’t get much chances in life already to get those dreamwhitles which visit them every night as they are asleep :smiley:
I am one of them and you don’t mind paying the shipping costs to netherlands do you hehehe

warmest greetings

Oh man, Bloo, you were going to be a zillionaire, but you broke the confidentiality agreement, which nullifies the whole deal. I know you must be heartbroken. Try to keep your chin up.

I just received the same email! I won too!

Some humorous e-mail threads relating to the Nigerian scams can be found at http://scifi-jackson.com/nigerian_scam_replys.html. You need Adobe acrobat and some are a little racy.

Well, bless my soul, there is justice in the world after all! I won even more millions.
