Re: PLEASE DON'T READ THIS MESSAGE

Crap crap crap crap.
Now, lets theoretically think that sooner or later EVERYBODY in the world
played this
thing. (or at least everybody who wanted. But the point is, everybody.)
Who would then send money to the last person(s) on the list?? the good fairy
godmother?? Or
santa?
I think not. They would give away money and not get anything back. It's a
matter of time,
and all idiots hopes that there are some more idiots that would try the last
thing. The
last player is the biggest idiot.

Happy easter :-)
