I learned Nigerian scammers always mention 'Nigeria' in their emails. Why?

Because it eliminates marks who have heard of these kinds of scams, improving the chances of totally clueless marks reading and biting.  Smart tactics, much like "beware of pickpockets" signs that make people subconsciously check if their wallets are there, thus providing important guidance to the operator.

Why did I have to wait more than a year for that answer? Thanks, Niko.

Anyway, try to look at "How it's made" shows on Discovery TV.

That kind of show is nice!

I learned that placing an order at BFL right now is not a wise decision.

I learnt that you probably couldn't a video as suggested by the poster above you.

I did find a video, though, that shows all the missteps, with an imaginary completed run at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9v0o25nLQg

I learned that some people must think others can a video. I hadn't known that anyone could.
