Orphan Nigerian Prince

Everybody knows about the famous e-mails coming from Nigeria of 'troubled business men' who are in a 'temporary difficult position' but with loads of money on a foreign bank account, if only...


Here's a guy who actually wrote back to one of this e-mails, this time from a 'poor young African orphan Nigerian Prince'. Funny read. (through Tonie).

To Mars!

Guus Bosman.nl is expanding its audience to outer space. The name Guus Bosman.nl is on a DVD that will be in NASA's Mars Exploration Rover. I have an official certificate to prove it!

"Together, we will journey into space to discover and understand the many wonders of our universe."

Let's hope it works. The previous campaign was a big succes. However, the Mars Polar Lander and its CD-ROM mysteriously disappeared when it was preparing to land on Mars in 2000.
