the saga of the HHGTTG-quoting spam continues with this snippet from a
"Zina Oblak" < Murielwc@ deskmail.com >:
"Would it be a problem if I'm angry most of the time?" `Like a military academy,' said Arthur, `bits of me keep passing out.'" .... the interview process... "`This must be Thursday,' said Arthur to himself, sinking low over his beer, `I never could get the hang of Thursdays.'"
seems like spammers really like sci-fi, notice the subject line from a "Thomas Tiana":
Subject: Maybe You Were Just Meant To Get This! were none. One may picture the orderly expectation, the officers bd80qq5

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRAh! I have the very thing; take away an Informer, packed up

[blablabla...]

sky to herself. I heard a dog howling, and that familiar sound it was
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR $book4
the subject quote's taken from HG Wells' War of the Worlds.

incidentally, most of the rest of the text that isn't in boldface is from Aristophanes' The Acharnians. which brings me to this other subject line from some Viagra spammer:
Euripides, nothing beyond a small pipkin stoppered with a sponge.
addendum: more HHGTTG in office spam from a "Madeline Daniel":
`...You hadn't exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them had you? I mean like actually telling anyone or anything.' ...
