Thanks for Skepteach, elianara, and Greg for the comments and links. No, I never would have sent money. I have stopped corresponding with her (it?).

OK, it's been a while, but I'm backed up on podcasts, so just listened and heard about the contest. It's The Economist magazine, Sept 3-9, 2011 in the 3M ad on page 13.
By the way, I am an AP Bio teacher and really appreciate the interesting fauna. I have used a couple of them in the blog I keep for my students. We're starting the year with the evolution unit, so these are GREAT for talking about novel adaptations. I also posted a link to your song Everything Alive Will Die Someday on youtube. Great stuff from Geo for Bio!
Recent news report - studies in Australia showing that scams through dating sites are on the increase - and result in larger monetary values lost.

To Kevin about the Russian woman. My first thought when I heard the story was the same as Skepteach's, you are probably talking to a bot. Russian bot dates are more likely on dating sites then actual Russian women looking for a way to the US. Listen to the Radiolab program he suggested, and make our own test. And if it turns out to be a bot, don't feel bad, even professional programmers have been fooled.
Good luck with the dating.
Baldies Quarterly, page 12 ?
To Kevin in regards to his Russian woman.
His whole story makes me think of an episode that Radiolab did on Talking to Machines ( http://www.radiolab.org/2011/may/31/ ). Radiolab rocks, so I would suggest listening to the entire episode. It's been a few months since I listened to this episode, but if I remember correctly, this guy met a great girl through online dating. But he began to get suspicious, I think she . So he'd write emails that would make no sense to a person. And he'd get replies that referenced the gibberish from his email. He was talking to a computer program.
Yay, my name!
Anywayyy, I loved when the police showed up to make us leave the PFA concert and I yelled, "Bruce! Get them!" and pointed at our group and he turned and took a photo of everyone. "No, GET them, the marshall's here; we have to go!" THAT is a photographer. (:
Shane MacGowan is the original singer and songwriter of The Pogues. He also possesses possibly the worst teeth of any living human being and a fondness for drugs and alcohol that rivals Keith Richards.
He co-wrote my favourite Christmas song, Fairytale of New York. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwHyuraau4Q
Haven't seen it but I'm going to just guess if that's ok. - Sports Illustrated, Page 42.
Its the NY Arts Magazine page 46. =D I like pie. hihihi
Oh. 227.
Ha. I should probably listen to the entire contest before guessing.
I'll guess Men's Health. That's a magazine right?
