Spam Observations #27

My pal Tony wrote to me this morning asking me the question:

has your energy level been down newly or still jaded all the time? I indubitably am, that is why i am radiant i came upon

http://www.pleaseflushmymoneydownthetoilet.com

Now this is obviously someone who has not learned their English as a first language, but this begs the question, where exactly have these annoying pests learned to write like this?

Look at those words: ‘jaded’?; ‘radiant’; ‘indubitably‘?

From Daffy Duck cartoons, perhaps? That would explain an awful lot.

Eros Bit

You know, it’s quite remarkable. I make posts about science, art, philosophy and religion and get a smattering of comment and a trickle of visitors. But one picture of a scantily-clad girl sticking her fist up a cow’s bum and my visitor rate doubles and my comments spike.

And over at Perpetual Ocean my Eros ex Mathematica images account for nearly 45% of the site traffic and now have racked up over 3 million hits.

Let there be no doubt about the subject that still drives the internet.

The Cattle are Lowing…

Whoa Nelly!

Sister Veronica has some kooky idea that we need to start getting the barn ready for the Christmas Nativity Scene.

I don’t quite know what she has in mind, but the cows seem to be making an awful lot of noise.*

Warning: NSFW (unless maybe you are a vet).

*The explanatory notes for Brigitte Niedermair’s ‘Holy Cow’ are here. Personally, the artistic statement sounds to me like a big steaming heap of bullshit.

Thanks (I think) to jedimacfan for sending me to this image that will probably stick in my head all day.

23 Occurrences of the Number 23

Radioactive Jam was recently detailing his exploits concerning a certain number, and it brought to mind my ongoing entanglement with #23. Wherever I go 23 haunts me. Now it can haunt you too.

Elvis’s Bear Has Left The Building

Rampage

This is the scene of carnage after a guard dog named Barney went berserk at a Somerset Teddy Bear exhibition. Barney was meant to be guarding the bears but seems to have completely lost it when he realized what the cost to his reputation might be. One of the bears that was chomped was worth £40,000 and once belonged to Elvis Presley.

The general manager of the Wookey Hole* Caves, where the bears were on show, said:

“About 100 bears were caught up in this frenzied attack, some were merely little chews, whereas some of them had some quite devastating injuries.”

All together now:

“I just wanna eat,
Your teddy bear…”

Full story of the Wookey Hole Massacre at the BBC News online.

Thanks Pil!
