Royal Bank of Scotland charges man £3,400 in bank charges. Man goes to court, claiming charges are illegal under UK law. Bank doesn’t bother to show up or contest the claim. Court rules in man’s favor. Bank doesn’t respond when payment of debt is demanded.
Man sends in debt collectors, who seize fax machines and computers from the local high street branch in front of startled customers, and tell the bank the equipment will be sold to pay the debt unless the bank coughs up the money it owes.
Freakin’ awesome.

Someone else below asked this already about antispam scripts.
I am getting nailed with Spam on my website mails and in our blog website - now its offline too much spam. Is there anyway to stop this? If not, there really isn’t any point in leaving it up and active. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I just use the built-in antispam stuff in the typo content management system. It calls Akismet as part of the filtering.
On a couple of occasions enough spam got through that I had to do a cleanup, but it was easy enough to DELETE * FROM COMMENTS WHERE SOURCE_IP = … and then block the IP entirely.
