hey, your web site on sloths is so awesome! I'm totally obsessed with sloths and monkeys.
i even got my brother into the obsession! it all started last year when i was first obsessed with monkeys.
And i was first introduced to the animal sloth. at first i thought the sloths were evil and would soon be
defeated by the monkeys in their epic battle. but i soon found the errors of my ways and sloths and monkeys
are equally matched. if there was a battle who would triumph over all monkeys or sloths?
okay i think you need to make a web site about killer monkeys too. i love the sloths to death but if there
was a showdown between monkeys and sloths who would win. i mean monkeys have a better advantage because
sloths are so slow. one day either monkey or sloth will rule the world!

WHOA! your name is all futuristic and stuff... what are sloths like in the future? are the super-intelligent?
do they wear spectacles? if so, are they bifocals... trifocals... progressives???
anyway... sloths versus monkeys. well, no contest! sloths! look at those claws they have!!! all monkeys have are
prehensile tails and poop throwing - nowhere NEAR the algae growing prowess of sloths.
so there you have it, future-boy, sloths by a long-shot. although, you being in the future and all, you tell us...
you probably have a better idea of what's going on with the whole sloth/monkey conflict.

Hey Frank,
My buddy IMed me your totally sweet Sloth website. I
am also obsessed with sloths and their laid back ways
(2 toes, 3 toes, I don't discriminate). I used to
have a pretty crappy website called the Page of
Infinite Sloths which had this collage I made 6 years
back of random sloths I found on Google Image search.
Thought you might be able to find a home for it. Keep
up the good fight.

Hey chris,

the sloth community. it's a shame. nice photo collage!

holy crap, this is the best email i ever got!!! (this one's going in the "save" bin!)

ATTENTION:
Dear Sir/Madam,
LETTER OF ASSISTANCE pls reply to my private email box {mar_23@libero.it}
I write this letter of assistance with a great sense of honour and
responsibility in care of SADIQ MOHAMMED. The decision to write to you
was arrived at after a critical consideration of its urgency and the
severe pain/terror my entire family had gone through with the present
Civilian Government of Nigeria after the death of my husband.
I am Dr. (Mrs.) Mariam Abacha, wife of the late Nigeria Head of
State, General Sanni Abacha, who died on the 8th of June 1998, while still
on active duty.I
am contacting you in view of the fact that we will be
of great help to each other and also develop a cordial
business relationship in the near future. Since the
strange and unfortunate death of my husband (may God's
mercy be upon him), the government has turned against
my family and myself. At first, I thought it was a
normal interrogation from my husband's enemies but I
was proved wrong.My husband's closest associates have betrayed and
deserted us and I no longer trust anyone of them.Therefore,I am requesting
for your urgent assistance to help my family and myself have hope
through my son( MOHAMMED) who will handle this transaction. We are going through
severe hardship, myself are under
restricted movement by the Federal Government of
Nigeria. The new democratic PresidentOlusegun Obasanjo has seized more
than US$700,000,000.00 million Dollars already including landed
properties and investment in Nigeria.You can find this out in news watch of
7,8,15,21 of year 2000 on website http://www.newswatchngr.com or Tell of
24th
July 2000 on website http://www.tell.com.org.I very
much know that I am under surveillance by the Federal
Government of Nigeria, so I have been making all my
contacts through my son without the Government
agents' knowledge.
I currently have within my reach the sum of
Twenty-five Million Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars ($25,500,000.00), which I intend to use
for investment, like Real Estate Development
specifically in your country. This money came as a
payback contract deal between my late husband and a
Russian Firm on our country's multi-billion Dollars
Ajaokuta Steel Plant. The Russian Partners returned my
husband´s share of US$25,500,000.00 before his death
and was lodged in my husband's Security Company of
which I am a Director, the new Civilian Government
have intensified their probe on my husband's financial
and oil company.
In view of these, l acted fast to withdraw the
US$25,500,000.00 from the Company's vault and
deposited as family treasure in a Security Company in
foreign country for safe custody. I have since
declared my husband's Security Company bankrupt. No
record ever existed concerning the money traceable by
the government because there is no documentation
showing that we received the money from the Russians.
Due to the current situation in the country concerning
government attitude towards my family, it has become
quite impossible for me to make use of this money
within, thus consent I shall expect you to contact me
urgently to enable us discuss in detail about this
transaction.
Bearing in mind that your assistance is needed to
transfer this fund from the security vault which is
not yielding any profit to your account. I proposed a
percentage of 25% of the total sum to you for the
expected service and assistance, 5% for offsetting
minor expenses incurred in the course of this
transaction and 15% will be used for investment
probably in your company. Your urgent response is
highly needed as to stop further contacts. All
correspondences must be by the Telephone and Fax
numbers or e-mail address above. I must use this
opportunity to implore you to exercise the utmost
indulgence to keep this matter extraordinarily
confidential whatever your decision while await your
prompt response.
Best regards,
DR. (MRS.) MARIAM ABACHA

your website abouyt sloths has made my day. Was having a pretty shit one but that has all changed. Thankyou.
Did you know that in prehistoric times there were giant sloths?
i suppose that these giant sloths moved to another planet or solar system altogether along time ago when they realised there superior intelect.
This is the only reason i can come up with for why i have never seen one.

Response:
your email abouyt giant prehistoric sloths made MY day! THANK YOU! there you go, sloths bringing people together...
awww, yeah i totally saw one of their skeletons in the museum of natural history! they are sooooo huge! i figured they had moved to another
planet or something to that effect as well... i had no other good idea as to why they weren't around anymore, either... thanks for backing up
my theory!

I saw your page on Real Ultimate Power (sloths) and I thought it was the greatest thing in the world! A few weeks ago I stumbled across the
original one about Ninjas and I think that your version is absolutely perfect! (But I'm biased I've had an obsession with sloths since I was 13!!!)
I think your page is great... keep the power of sloths going! They are the best animals and most people know nothing about them.
A proud sloth-lover,
Caren
Response:
