I just got spam for generic Viagra that began with this salutation:

ego jackknife blest lachesis piotr catholicism cavemen calcify bedfast bile creedal introduction

I’d imagine that it’s a device to get through the fearsome AOL spam guards, but it’s almost beautiful in its way.

It’s more likely to be trying to overwhelm so-called “Bayesian” filters that rate emails by looking at the individual words. I get a number of these every day, although none have snuck past spambayes yet.

“Mr. James, what did you mean when you wrote bad clown making like super American car racers, I would make them sweat, War War?”
