Between study and my job, I don't have time to bait. But I found this little gem that someone may want to bait:

The comment itself, in case its been buried:

Greetings, digg users!
Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Dr. Mobuto. I am a doctor in Nigera. I can confirm this is indeed a cure for AIDS! The formula for this cure is, unfortunately, in a hard to reach location. If each of you give me $5,000 U.S., I will be able to make the necessary bribes to get this cure to you all!
You can e-mail me here:

Sorry if this was the wrong place for this.

I imagine dozens of 419eater board members' heads all dropping into their hands at this point. The quality of the comments on that site made me question the future of our species.

Enab, thanks for the post. A couple of things screamed off the page that you can see the email address is not valid. First, the number 419 in the address, second, the mubuto.org isn't an assigned address. It is available at godaddy.com for 8.99 !
