    Came across this while going over the web sites I try to keep abreast
    of..
    
    This is Tesla's (Alan Cox's wife's) website:
    
    http://www.linux.org.uk/~telsa/Diary/diary.html
    
    and her meta-diary of Alan's Diary.
    
    In it, we have:
    
    "August 27th
    
    Everyone else has linked already, probably, but I shall join in: Xach
    has been engaged in a surreal correspondence with someone attempting
    to get him into the Nigerian 419 scam. The stage at which he fears
    someone may be eavesdropping and starts using pig-Latin to fool them
    is surpassed only by "Hello from Kuala Lumpur! I am on the way to Togo
    to do business with you. I am so excited! Can you tell me how I get to
    Togo from here?"
    
    
    This is a reference to:
    
    http://www.xach.com/togo/
    
    This is *too* funny!
    
    There's even some pictures (apparently real) of "Dr.Abed Solomon" and
    his family!
