Weird spam

Like everyone else, I’m getting loads of spam at the moment. It doesn’t bother me too much, I just delete it all. But one email I got this morning struck me as a really weird piece of spam. At least, I hope it’s spam – I didn’t recognise the sender… so if it’s you, I apologise!

Hello, playmates!

I detest the man who hides one thing in the depth of his heart and speaks forth another. The best way to convince a fool that he is wrong is to let him have his way.
Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven’t committed.
There is nothing certain, but the uncertain. To educate the intelligence is to expand the horizon of its wants and desires.

If you find yourself further from God than you were yesterday, you can be sure who has moved.

A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn.
There is no one so old as to not think they may live a day longer.

Communism is a cow of many well milked and badly fed.
All fine architectural values are human vales, else not valuable.
A house is a machine for living in.

Much learning does not teach understanding.
To business that we love we rise bedtime, and go to’t with delight.

Either this is not the Gospel, or we are not Christians.Life is too short for a long story.

Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.

If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt, they’d immediately go out.
It is the duty of the President to propose and it is the privilege of the Congress to dispose.
How inimitably graceful children are in general before they learn to dance!
A critic is a man who knows the way, but can’t drive the car.
A church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
That must be wonderful I have no idea of what it means.

Conscience does make cowards of us all.If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic.
For they conquer who believe they can.

Tell me I’m wrong, but I honestly can’t work out whether it’s trying to sell me herbal medicine or transfer £5,000 to a bank account in Nigeria. It’s really weird.

On an other note (yet still related to tinned processed meat) … did you see the story about Lycos’ Make Love, Not Spam campaign? It was a good idea, but perhaps a little hastily thought out. Oh well.
