Egad... can't believe I'm seeing this

I just gave away a couple of truckloads of junk and not-so-junk using the incredible Craigslist. Hundreds of emails in the last few days! My choice of people and time to haul the stuff away, all at my convenience. Glad the service uses an anonymizer and post cancellation logic, so I don't keep getting those "do you still have <FOO> to give away???!!??" messages.

I'm still getting email from people, though, weird and puzzling stuff like this for a rusty old bike that departed my presence yesterday; this just in:

will this bike fit a 5'1" 300 pound teenager? ...are the tires flat or do they need to be replaced due to puncture?

Egad... I don't know what to say. Is she actually looking to place such a creature on a bicycle and not have the tires blow out anyway, no matter their present condition?
