I like the idea of a "Spainish Postcode Lotto E-mail program," though. Spainish, of course, is like Spain but not actually Spain. It's Spain-ish. Like (to too many Americans) Mexico, Portugal, or the Phillipines.
And I may start asking for informations, the obvious plural of information, in the days ahead. I suppose that if I just sent them my first name, that would qualify as giving an information? But by giving them all that they ask, I'm giving them some informations? You gotta love the laziness here.
But of course, the big tip-off is that I apparently won 900,000 United State Euros, which is a lot more than the 900,000 Canadian Pesos that those spammers in "Nova Scochia" are promising.
