Scam purporting to be from PanFandom.com

I've reported this to PayPal and also used the form on the PanFandom site, but I thought I'd post here as well. I got a message this morning, allegedly from the PanFandom.com site, which has been inactive for quite a while now, asking me to donate money to some random gmail address. It looks like it was actually sent from the site -- some security hole in Nuke, maybe? Here's the message:

Hi, hows it going I recently recieved an email from a kid in
california who is practically going out on a limb to earn some
college money.  He works full-time just to pay the bills and to eat
he is 19 years old.. hes resorting to begging people for donations
online and to send it to him via paypal.. at first I was hesitant
but I emailed him and he contacted me right away.. this is not to
much to ask but if you would be willing to donate just a little to
him to his paypal account it would be greatly appreciated thank
you. His paypal id is posted below ......

In conclusion, people suck.

Pee.

So, women can learn to pee standing up. Which would be really handy, but potentially messy, if you couldn't get a good stream going.

Luckily, there are also assistive devices. Some are disposable, some are not.

Urinelle - A paper cone you can use, then toss in the toilet. It looks to me like you'd have to drop your drawers to use it. There's a note on the site: The use of the Urinelle could feel strange at first.

Whizzy - A paper trough with handles. Looks to me like a drawer-dropper, but some of the testimonials indicate you could manage without. Not flushable.

PMate - A cardboard tube. Looks bulky to me. Possible re-usable for a few times.

Pee-Zee (NB: site is on Tripod) - Plastic tube thingy. It looks cool and seems like it would work okay without getting half-undressed first.

TravelMate - Another plastic tube thingy. This one is fairly small, so I imagine it might take a bit of practice to position it correctly. But you could definitely use it while clothed. They even make a travel kit where you can attach it to a tube and collection bag.

Freshette - Cup/tube thingy. It looks bulky compared to the Pee-Zee and TravelMate.

Have you ever tried one of these or something similar? It seems like a great idea to me, if you found the right one. I'd rather have something permanent, so I wouldn't have to keep buying them and throwing them away. The TravelMate appeals to me the most. Maybe I'll order one.

Dear Grandma, thank you for the cheque. I used it to buy a plastic tube so I can pee like a man! I got two, so I'm sending you one. Hope you enjoy it!
