athersgeoI just received a piece of spam. Not exactly a newsworthy event in and of itself, but the content...
Qil xin Faith is not contrary to reason:
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death. [New Testament]Die and endow a college or a cat.
A Sunday well-spent brings a week of content.
In pain is a new time born.
It is the strange fate of man, that even in the greatest of evils the fear of the worst continues to haunt him.
By the time we've made it, we've had it.
What you cannot enforce, do not command.
Historian -- an unsuccessful novelist.
A sage is the instructor of a hundred ages.
Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.
Speak of me as I am. Nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice.
What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.
Some defeats are only installments to victory.
Insanity in individuals is something rare -- but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule. It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.Always keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful fragrant bouquet. Dreading that climax of all human ills the inflammation of his weekly bills.
I get all the interesting spam. No adverts for viagra, me!

Date: 2005-03-15 08:20 pm (UTC)Not only do I get tons of viagra (and similar stuff) ads, I also get hit on to buy fake designer stuff, get plied with penis enlargement paraphernalia (especially suited to a female, right?), and what's worse, tons of stuff in Portuguese -- just because I visited a Brazilian website ONCE, over a year ago! For heaven's sake, I don't even understand the language -- and there's no way to set my spam filter to scan for foreign languages and send directly to trash. Or is there?
