Spam

Of course we all get spam in our mail boxes.
For a while they were using proper ppl's names in the 'From' line, which made it a real pain. I'd open them, thinking it was from someone I knew.
Lately, though, they seem to be just randomly picking words for their names. This is causing some interesting results.
Today I got an email for a weight-loss pill from a:
Extramarital Anus
I didn't open it, so I don't know if it's a Mr or a Mrs. Could be either!
The more one thinks about their name, the more bizarre it becomes.

Has anyone else been noticing this trend in spam?

No because I throw almost all of my mail instantly into the recycling box. Unless of course, it has money in it... :p

every once in a while some slips past gmails spam filter, and I have noticed that they just use random words in the email itself (gmail shows me the first sentence or two without me having to open the email)

so the other day I got an email from "daddy toes"
and the first line was something like

"where dig box man snail rubble diet"

it was so weird.....
