@jaysonmassey I knew it!!! Despite my whiteness deep down I always knew the emails telling me I was a nigerian prince were true... thank you.

@freemo Well, there ARE white people who live in Africa. I met one very nice South African lady who went to Penn.

And there's the guy that owns Twitter.

@jaysonmassey Thi is true.. but how many of them are nigerian porinces? :)

@jaysonmassey Technically I am already royalty, at least as far as useless titles go (my ancestor from the 1700s in england)

@jaysonmassey I prefer to go Kim Jung Il style with "Dear Leader, Who is a Perfect Incarnation of the Appearance that a Leader Should Have, Freemo"
