Regularly in the comments at **youtube** some idiot has posted: _In 1945, a young girl named katu lata kulu came over to America in a grey boat from Africa. A mysterious man killed her by cutting the word “LATUALATUKA” into her back. now that you have read this message, she will come to your house on a full moon and steal your soul unless you follow these directions:_ what is that all about? ---

Just some idiot posting nonsense, I’d wager. Then again, you can’t be too careful when it comes to these kinds of warnings. It would certainly be a shame to lose your soul. 🙂 ---

Is it a Nigerian scam? Perhaps you have to agree to a share of the proceeds otherwise she’ll come and eat your soul. Or empty your bank account. Or sell you on eBay. ---

It’s a “chain letter” a.k.a. “comment spam”. ---

So now that we’ve all read the message… how’s about you post the rest of it? Just in case katu lata kulu is lurking about waiting to steal our souls? When’s the full moon, again? ---

It’s an obvious fake. The real girl had “KLAATUBARADANIKTO” carved into her back. She’s the one you need to fear. ---

Steal my soul? Bah. I installed an EtherLoJack on my soul. Between that, the fuel cut off switch, and the MetaTaser, I pity the moron who tries to steal my soul. ---

I’ve seen this posted by multiple idiots, so apparantly it’s spread. What would she want with souls like that, anyway? You couldn’t get a first bid on ebay. ---

I had a soul once, but when passing through Deadwood, South Dakota, I wagered it at a live-card poker table instead of my truck. I had three Kings an Ace and a Queen. The bastard across the table from me had three Aces. :smack: I mean, I’d rather wager my soul than my truck. I _really_ like my truck! Tripler Still have it. It’s an '02 Ford F-150. ---

Back in college, inspired by an episode of The Simpsons, I was able to get a number of people to pledge their souls to me for nothing. It was harder to get change for the phone than to get a soul. ---

I thought a hemophiliac can be female, but they die at their first period? Maybe I’m thinking of something else…hemophilia is a condition that stops your blood clotting right? ---
