I have just had the most odd comment left on one of my hubs:

"I need help in locating a mirror that belonged to my grandfather, Joe Harnois/Beauharnais. The person who has the mirror does not know that there are important papers inside the frame of the mirror and LOCATING THESE PAPERS IS AN EMERGENCY!!!

If you have any bulletin boards, please post this message.

I live in Oaklawn, Illinois."

So, if anyone has her grandfather's mirror, please own up

Well it seems to be an EMERGENCY, but she left no link or return address so......

Sounds like a mutation of the Nigerian bank account scam. Next thing he will tell you he knows where the mirror and the "important papers" are and he will ask you to help him get them, all for a nice percentage.

Important papers hidden in the frame of a mirror - it's just has to be a treasure map!

Come on, Mark! Give the guy his mirror back! LOL

Odd - Very odd!!!

That is hilarious Mark!   Mirrors are VERY important! And I hope this is not hijacking this thread, but check out the comment I got on my TLC's What Not To Wear Hub a couple of days ago (someone must think I am the host of the show.. LOL!!!):

Just was wondering if you could help me with a 50th Anniversary for my folks, and I'm one of 20 children.. And was wondering if you could get me a small make over, and an outfit for the party. Party is August 16th 2008. There are 6 girls and 14 boys maybe you would help us girls out... Just thought you might be able to do something, and my daughters and I love your show..Keep up the good work your great

There is an interesting story sleeping within this comment regardless of the sender's intent.

Makes me both worry and the evil part of me giggle.. this is a comment this person left on some I dream of Jeannie website:

THERE IS A CONSPIRACY TO MURDER ME! Please contact Trish who was married to Chuck Fager, Vice President of Chicago Sun Times. Trish was a friend of Sue Kelly (Mary Susan Kelly) who married my dad, Jack Harnois. I need Trish to locate Sue. After my dad's death, she remarried John Hood (Hood Construction Co.), Prescott, Arizona. Ask Sue Hood who has Joe Harnois' mirror. She does not realize that papers are stored inside the frame. These papers are regarding treasures stored by my ancestors, The DuHamels. One of these treasures is an ancient Holybook (pages of gold with jewels on the cover). I believe that it is the original Old Testament. There are writings in this book that are not in other Bibles. The Bible has been altered. My name is Jackie Harnois and I live at [an address] Chicago., IL My e-mail is [anemailaddress] However, since yestereday, I cannot get on the screen in the Chicago Public Library. THIS IS URGENT Will try to send another e-mail

Intriguing...

Is this part of hubpages new contest? Or is somebody gone cuckoo in the head?

Somebody is coookoooooo!

Awesome isn't it!!!!

Don'tcha just love it when your middle-schooler could do better with both spelling and grammar?

Cracks me up.

I think my son would have done a better job in third grade!!!  LOL

kinda creepy... in a chain letter kinda way.... but um, it does sound kinda urgent...

Crap!  Jackie is getting close to finding me.  Time to relocate the mirror.  Again.

Well I didn't realize she was so prolific but the really odd thing was that there was no contact link or address, so even though she was quite correct. I do know where her mirror is - I have no way of getting it to her.

But to get the documents, I have to break the mirror - so I am wondering if they are worth the seven years bad luck that is sure to follow.
