I will share a secret: I read my spam.

It started when I was working for an online casino company. Some 3 or so years later I still monitor my inbox for new approaches to my bank balance and I am always amused by the creativity people invest in their spam messages.

image spam

text spam
This month I have two favorites: the yellow iPod like panacea ad for health and sexual problems and the "huge overwhelmingly important letter".

While the viagra ad is relatively clear, the second letter is a total intellectual riddle featuring popular sayings and urban legends like: "If you're too open-minded, your brains will fall out." and "After dark all cats are leopards".

The list is approximately 50 aphorisms long, hidden in a cascade form with the "alt" tag. The image itself is a boring offer for stock shares (yuck!).
