Bill, I thought the same thing, and I'm still skeptical, but there actually
IS a Lutacaga Elementary in Othello (google.com search). And the
email address looked fairly legit too. See this link supporting at least
the existence of Lutacaga Elementary School:
http://www.governor.wa.gov/press/1999/99020203.htm
Perhaps the school is an incredibly clever hoax, but more likely it's
a made up project designed to waste our most precious natural
resource, Internet bandwidth, or it's a real project with the same
effect. For our children's sake, please contribute to the Save The
Bandwidth fund I'm starting. Email this to all your friends. <g>
