	"'It was in $SYSTEM$... so he was far from the planet, but it was so sleepy he decided to stop the ship behind some asteroid, sensors on, and take a nap. And while he sleeps, he feels something licking his hand. He awake but there was noone. Noone!'",

	"'They say that you buy on odd day and sell on even day. And every fourth day you buy on organic, and every eighth day you buy on artificial. So do you have to get a software to define every date of launch and the length of every travel. They say you can become rich in two weeks with this method.'",
	"'I received this mail yesterday, and it says I have to re-send it to other five persons in five days, or a virus will destroy every system on my ship. What I have to do? Alien and androids count?'",
