When twin rowers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss were shaken by the death of their 23-year old sister Amanda in mid-June, every one of their teammates took a break from training to attend the wake in the twins’ hometown of Greenwich, Conn.

I got one from a Mr. ABBA ABACHA (his caps-lock key appears to be stuck) who claims to be a Nigerian official with $25 million that he needs to smuggle out of the country.
