Preserved Topic: An intersting bit of spam... (Page 1 of 1)

OK, I've read this one before, and while the numbers have changed somewhat, it still raises an interesting point. (read on...)

Ack! Only one of the people from this village would own a computer?!? This is a travesty, an abomination, we need to do something about this and convince those other 5 people to get computers too.

Your pal, -doc-

Of course I'll have to assume you mean 11 would be *openly* homosexual.

Can I be the one with the computer and one of the six with all the wealth??? Please???

Heh, what about mobile phones? How many people would have them? Will that be the same guy with computer, or ... ? Maybe, they won't need them at all because they live in a village next to each other? Also, what about TV? etc...

Yeah, that is interesting Doc. I wonder how many would be vegens vs. meaters, how many of the christians are evangelists, how many are felons (not out of the christians, heh), etc. What was the source of the info, hmm? Yeah, Gates can't be the only one of 6 owning a computer! It's just not right

Hey! no janitors? boo hoo.. thats just typical.. all that mess and no one to administer the moppage....

Funny thing is, what would the 1 guy be doing with a computer? Being the only person on earth to actually own one, sort of serves him NO purpose at all huh?

Pretty interesting Doc. The spamer must be a Mad Statistician. I think the numbers is already outdated. I don't believe that only 1% of the whole population of this world own a computer. I just feel it. Don't you?

Yeah, the only person on the village who own the computer would be Bill Gates.
