		<description>#17,

&lt;i&gt;Odd… I thought Shell owned Nigeria.&lt;/i&gt;

Only the &quot;geria&quot; part. The Rooskies own the &quot;Ni&quot; to go along with their &quot;gaz&quot;.

If the Rooskies ever pick up the Welsh gas properties the company would be something like Walgaz and everyone could make cetacea fart jokes.</description>

		<description>Oh come on, you think the Russians even know about the &#039;N&#039; word?  Titheads, it I&#039;m sure it&#039;s a simple combination of Nigeria and Gas(Z).  What I do find somewhat alarming is how Russia is using it&#039;s own hydrocarbon reserves to buy up foreign supplies.  Somehow I don&#039;t think I&#039;d like to depend on the Russians for my fuel, not that I like depending on Arabs either.  Russia&#039;s been buying up european fuel interests and pushing their gas pipeline here too.  I think this is not a coincidence, it&#039;s part of a determined strategy.</description>

		<description>How did it all start?

Dear Sir:

I am a member of the Nigerian gas and oil discovery organization, and we have discovered that 99% of our wealth is location directly under the grounds owned by my late grandfater M. Obumfu Agara.  Unfortunately, the deed holders are requesting that a foreign organization....

And the rest.  Because, if it did, I am TOTALLY signing the next message I get as NOT SPAM!!!!</description>
