Temporary E-Mail Address
I have often stumbled upon a site where you will get something for free (like an eBook) if you sign up for a newsletter, which means you have to give up your e-mail address. I would never give up my real e-mail address on something fishy like this but I often get curious if the they are really giving something away for free.
I solve this problem by using a temporary E-Mail address from GuerrillaMail.
GuerillaMail provides you with a disposable e-mail addresses which expires after 1 hour (it says 15 minutes on the front page but when you create an e-mail it says 1 hour).
This is something you should do if you do not wan’t spam!

UFO Lands in London
Jul 21, 2008 Cars
The new Vauxhall Insignia (or Opel Vectra outside the US) is launching and Vauxhall is making sure everybody notices it. Vauxhall crashed a UFO in Potters Fields Park on Saturday.
There was a smoke and weird noises coming from the ‘UFO’ and there were even men guarding the crash site and refused to explain what was going on.
