Spam Observations #1
Lately (possibly because I’m going insane), I’ve taken to scanning some of the copious offerings of spam that flow through my mailbox every day. I’ve discovered that not only is spam much more interesting than it used to be, but sometimes it is educational as well. Take this snippet forwarded to me from Nurse Myra:
“…that produced other miracle pharmaceuticals, has now maid a revolutionary herbal pill that can gain your penis volume by 3″ to 4″ in verily a couple of shortish hebdomads!”
Not strong on the spelling, true, but dig that Shakespearian riffing!
I had to look it up:
Hebdomad: A period of seven days; a week.
Verily.
(Thank you Dictionary.com)

[…] treespotter: I have to sift through a lot of spam to get anything, er, smart (although I would give it a different description, more along the lines of, oh, moronic, maybe). It is true that in recent times the quality has dropped off rather severely, and I do a great deal more sifting than I used to. No longer are we seeing the likes of the Shakesperean headiness of Hebdomad, The Victorian romping of The Q Word or the outré faux historical attempts at credibility of Or Just Use a Cucumber. […]
I ather like this one I received this morning, though I’m not sure what the mystery Ghost Frigate with no boats has to do with soft tabs that give you confidence …
I saw the frigate! She was five miles from us, and looked like a dark mass, hardly discernible But no boats!
Do you want to get more confident in yourself?
We might have just what you need.
Our special soft tabs will make you feel much better about yourself
in just 15 minutes and all the girls will apprecite it.
It will last up to 36 hours.
