I thought it was funny, reminding of me of the thread [Fun and games with Mr. Austin Wemba](Fun and games with Mr Austin Wemba ). Even more funny is the fact that his “name” is Kaka 😃 ---

I fondly remember Mr. Austin Wemba. What a wonderful thread that was! Kaka does seem very appropriate in this situation! ---

My current favourite is the [plaintive plea of fourteen-year-old Tony Fred Williams of Manchester](http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/03/09/manchester_419/), via the Register. > [@](#): > > I could have tell my mother to assist me to collect the £50Million for me but my mother and father got devoured before my father die and my father told me to not have anything to do with my mother I don’t even want her to know because what my father told me before he die was true, now that I stay with my mother in Scotland she don’t even have time for me all she do is to take hard drugs and to bring men to the house and she also hit me all the time. All he wants is someone who is old enough and honest enough to collect the fifty million pounds held in trust for him, since he is too young to take care of fifty million pounds.
