WEIRD SPAM Dept - Okay, so this one is so weird that it is worth mentioning -- I got a spam email the other day that offers an acre of land for only $29.99 - yep, that's right $29.99. I'm not going to give anyone the website, nor am I going to share the email. The guarantee that comes with the purchase is a hint to its weirdness and humor. All lots have a view that's out of this world... You might have guessed it by now. It's a lunar acre of land. Sorry, but this just tickled my funny bone. Who even owns the lunar surface? How has the acre been identified and surveyed? And the questions go on, and on, and on... That's what kicks it squarely into the weird department. Then the other part of me stops for a second and wonders how RICH these guys are going to get before they vanish into thin air (or space).
