If there's an idiot selling potions, curses or magic spells and a greater idiot BUYING it then they deserve all the hassle they can get.

I thought they were talking about virtual potions and magic for MMORPGs or whatnot.

I can't believe people actually believe in magic. Might as well try giving Santa a visit.

This is going back quite a few years, but I used to work call center, and after searching the database one slow night I can tell you Santa Clause is real. He lives in Jersey.

I am glad to see this "information" go away. Especially when you search for a particular used laptop, and the listing you get looks totally like they are selling the actual laptop, except for the little bit of fineprint that states that it is "information on how to get the laptop'. I am sure all of these other categories are just abused for deception, which is why I stopped using eBay years ago.

I saw this story a few days ago. They had a picture inset of an auction ending on 8/16 where someone was auctioning Jesus blood. Had one bid. At $1500.

The sad thing about laws, warning labels, so on, is that they are put in place just to protect people from themselves, and protect the smarter among us from having to deal with the problems they cause more than we have to.

Do you have any magic potions to sell? I'm running a bit low and I don't know where to buy them anymore.

Do you know what would aid their cause? Grammar; that petition made my eyes bleed. There is a simple test you can perform: have someone read the draft, and if they have to pause every other sentence to piece together the idea, it is time for a rewrite.
