Is that somehow related to us being in big trouble if all the Pole's ice melted? And why do the Poles have so much ice?

I heard they switched all the ice from Iceland and the green from Greenland, and lost the remaining ice in a winner-takes-all boxing tournament.

My code has no bugs, it runs exactly as it was written.

So, they are basically trying to find people who fell for the trick the first time, and trick them again! 
To turn the other cheek? I got a cheek for them but it's not the one they expect! 
If first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried!

Heh, if I would respond (which is just "this email is active! spam me more!"), it'd be with Revelation 21v8, and "Ye fraudsters shall your place in the lake of fire."
To be honest, if someone loses money from these scams, they probably shouldn't handle money anyway.

...because when you want justice you turn to the Nigerian police!

It is a bit like these inexpendable "malware-removers" that you must install when your comp is infected.

I received an email from a pokerstars asking me to send them a scan of my passport, driving licence, household utility bills etc to verify my identity. upon reading the plain text email, it seemed like some kind of scam so I deleted it immediately, as who in their right mind is going to divulge such sensitive info I thought, especially as ive had an account with them for 8 years. As it happens it was a genuine request and the upshot of my refusal to comply meant they blocked my account and have banned me from the site lol, citing it as a 'Legal Requirement' so I cashed out my huge $72 balance. No-ones ive talked to about this would send anyone such sensitive stuff over the net, especially in an unsecured email, but plenty must be doing so as I don't see the site closing or changing its policy - BTW no other poker site has requested this and i've not been accused of any dodgy dealings such as money laundering - anyone any thoughts?

From their FAQ[^] it appears this is an Isle of Man requirement. Other sites may be governed by other nations.
Of course, I also would have cashed out instead of sending them copies of such documents.

It is yet another spoof of a viral publicity about strangers kissing for the first time.

There was a classic art exhibit years ago of two people slapping each other, can't remember what it was (or where, or when, and a quick google revealed nothing) but I distinctly remember seeing a video of it related to some weird exploration of different forms of art. Well, whatever.
