If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Open it Cecil! They probably want to procure some fish for the Kuwait School of Taxidermy.

They know the oil is running out and are branching off into the world of taxidermy for "Fun Food and PROFIT" LOL

Internet must be broken. Usually they just send spam email.
Before the internet, I use to get letters from Africa and other places with scams.
My favorite is that I am such a model US Citizen that Canada, Great Brittan and the Country of Texas wants to give me thousands of dollars all for a processing fee of 249.00.
I think the middle eastern accent of the caller could just be a hint that this is really legit.

I wouldn't open it. I would have my Mother-in-law open it.... just in case.

Phil in MI claims technology-challenged, backwoods lifestyle on another thread: Out in the woods. I only get one channel, so I am watching Dancing with the stars. (gimme a dozen Jennies to go) Got a Black Bear coming close at night so we will see what happens with that. --- I have "Zero" signal through my wireless provider, but blows dial up all over the place. I went to the shop today and got two bars and a weak third. Hit 1.56mbx324kb. The repeater, hopefully should pop 5 bars continuous, so the wireless network should work. --- TV may be in the future.
- ...and yet Before the internet, I use to get letters from Africa and other places with scams.
- ...s'pose that Black Bear is really a code name, ya hey dere?

I opened it. Look mom no hands! Seriously they were looking for animal mounts for their museum. Mostly birds. Now if I could only figure out what the white powder was in the envelope.

You guys have a good sense of humor I am only hanging out here because I am clearing land for a road, pond, house and a 5000 sq/ft building. I want to start construction next spring. If I get the internet working good out here I can save a couple hours a day in driving and still get my design work for work done. This tree removal work is a chore, off to get a better chainsaw.

I am only hanging out here because I am clearing land for a road, pond, house and a 5000 sq/ft building. Thats how it starts, nice and innocent like. Next thing you know you're staring down the road pacing in circles wondering when the stocking truck is gonna arrive, raising maggots or red worms, threatening your sunfish with a Swiss Army Knife or chopping board, debating the effect of aeration on stratification, concerted about your DO count, and on and on and on. You think any of us were this demented before we got our pond??? (present company excluded of course).

Thanks for the info GW,
I think its more of a chore because I am out of shape, been sitting behind a computer for too many years.
I have muscles that I never knew I had, and they let me know.
