Phish in a barrel

Just so's you know (because I didn't): Evil people are running computer programs to get Facebook passwords (aka phishing)...which will allow said evil people to use your (read: my) Facebook friendlist to send ads for Nigerian princes/ponzi schemes/penis extenders/all of the above around spam firewalls. Lessons learned: 1) The Facebook admiralty does do a nice job keeping an eye on these things: They shut me down within an hour of the violation. 2) Stay away from unknown apps. Which pretty much means all of them...except for that favorite musicals one. I mean, who would use Mary Poppins to sneak something onto your page? Hmmm...
