Bit of nonsense, then it's up for grabs

[Guest]

I receive spam everyday but when I'm not sure about an email I can preview it w/o opening it. This arrived (from an ordinary male name). This is the message in its entirety:

hyannis eva shakespearean commend blackjack seriate dactylic cessation juneau sire globe ditty dolce complain scary cap reprieve circumscribe librarian pinto presume pigeonfoot hoop cheesecloth bindweed

I enjoyed it, and saved it. I do wonder if there's a hidden code to the choice and placement of words; if anyone can decode it I suppose it might be Joe, maybe MathGirl.

Anyway, that's all. Do what you like with this thread now.

I think it's obvious what this is. Someone has amused themselves by taking an ordinary spam-message, and then run it through Babelfish, translating it into Hungarian, Korean, Portuguese, Finnish, and then back to English.

I believe the original message asks if you want to buy Viagra. It usually does.

 

[Guest]

Ah, Flicka, you are brilliant. Of course. Most of my spam is for penis enhancement. P.

Or it's a hidden message from Aliens telling you the date when they'll take over the world?

Thank you, everyone. Now I am going to have an anxiety attack.

It's alright Perdita, relax. I suppose the Aliens want to contact us and cooperate with Lit's.

Ok, can you guys keep a secret?

I still believe there's some kind of hierarchy of spam. What kind of spam you get depends on where in that hierarchy you find yourself. For example, my spam is all for either penis enlargement or prescription drugs (mostly Viagra and its cousin Cialis). I obviously rate differently with the spammers than the guy in the office next door, who gets mostly home refinancing spam. Then of course, there's my friend who gets dozens of offers each day to "make millions on E-bay!" I wish I could get my hands on the spammers rating system. Then maybe I could get myself shifted to another category! If I responded to all the spam I got, I'd end up being nothing but a big walking penis. And you ask...that's different than now because...

How's that for opening the door on myself?

MIB's? Mork? Now you're just making fun of me.

No, it's not my intention. I still have to make up with you for that joke I told. Probably won't make it though.

[Guest]

Snoop, I've already forgotten the joke. Just break the code, hombre!

I sent it to you, to see if you would start a thread about it.

You did.

Phew, now I'm glad. Ok, I'm working on it. But no promises.
Getting serious now. I had a astronomy class in school and once we were introduced to this message that NASA (I guess) transmits into space for possible alien life forms to discover.

It's just code of 1 and 0 and you receive it in a endless line.
Once you receive this you have to figure out that it's repetitive. Then you have to write it down on squared paper in a special way, i.e. a specific number of bits in a row, (of course an alien wouldn't know all this).
Now if you paint out the squares with a 1 and leave the squares with a 2 you'll get a picture of significance, i.e. the pictures of a male and a female, pictures of our solar system, etc.

So what I'm trying to say is......no one could break this code. It's a pretty pointless idea.

Ok, I'll stop boring you to death

Hey woman, Shakespeare said you should play Blackjack. Don't stop holding it until the young man sings dryly. Put all complaints to the scary one in the hat. You'll be let off if you spin around the librarian in a Fiat Pinto car. Make the presumption that the odd walking circular cheese-making implement is covered in bindweed.

Just guessing,

Lou left out Hyannis. That means Kennedy to me so I'm thinking it might be the answer to the grassy knoll second shooter riddle. Still, I'm not doing anything until I hear from Joe.

Liar, you know I cannot believe anything you say.

Yep, I think you might be on to something there. Make sure Joe tells us who the shooter was.

Ah, the distrust! What has the world come to, when a man's complete and utter bullshit can not be trusted no more? Is there no more faith out there!? These are troubled times, troubled times indeed.

I'm curious how I got in the heirarchy for Christian dating services. For a while I was getting 3-4 e-mails daily from different ones. Now that I think about it, I kind of miss them. They were good for a laugh. My favorite will always be the subject line, "I saw you in church the other day..."

Hey Mindy, I saw you in church the other day.

Yea I get a lot of them dear, "Do you want a 10 inch Penis?" I write back and say I'm not cutting two inches off my dick for anyone.

I'd go with the Alien invasion theory myself, followed a close second by a dyslexic typist.

I used to work in Information Security which I used to enjoy. The main qualifications needed to work in I.S. are tenacity, paranoid psychosis and bad breath.

My own web site and mail server are protected by spam and virus filters: The spam filter uses (among other things) a set of rules based on Bayes' theorem to identify spam based on a "spam" dictionary , which is added to from the contents of every new spam message received.

The long sequence of random words in many spam messages are put there to "bloat" the Baysian dictionary in spam filters, to eventially slow them down: They're "Denial Of Service" attacks.

But some spam filters will also crash when their dictionary is too large, compromising the machine to potentially allow remote root access. This is a much more serious threat

"Innocent" penis-enlargement and viagra ads often contain links to web sites that contain malicious code.

Spammers don't usually want to enlarge your dick for money. They want access to your computer, for purposes ranging from "just for kicks" to "store pedophilia" or possibly "blow up World Trade Center".

I don't think spam is funny.
