Life Without Toast - Sibling Rivalry

Surprise! It wasn't just a one-off post at all, I really am going to try to find one funny/strange/interesting thing in the tide of spam that I recieve each day, and I'm going to post every week I can be bothered to post one.

This week's dubious award goes to 'Hardy Ted' who, just before trying to sell me some 'SPUR-M' (Improves Orgasm! 500% More Volume! Sweeter Tasting Sperm! WHAT?!) pills from a very spurious supplier, recounted a fascinating story about 'The Variety'...

Isn't it weird the way they start off quite interesting, then degenerate into total babble, then say 'Hey! Buy our Mickey-Pills!'? I'm going to do a paper on the actual origins of Spam, as I think some are created entirely by machines...
