I dunno about you, but I get about 30 of these random-subject spams every day offering Viagara at discount rates. Sometimes the subject lines almost make sense, but I didn’t notice until today that they also include randomly generated text within the messages themselves, below the Viagara ads. Bits of it end up being quite poetic. Here are some excerpts from one I received today, with the subject line “An eat a devilishly causeless.”

After a time he went to the daughter who
had compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom.

I don’t do humor. :slight_smile:
