I know, I tend to be pretty cavalier when throwing around the word "brilliant," but I'm going to do it again, anyhow.

The bit to the right is text from a recent spam email I received. I'm not real impressed with the content to the right of the spam message, but the method of hiding the spam is pretty clever. Even if a mail handler got smart enough to sniff the vertical run, I suppose we'd just see diagonal slants the next time. As I've alluded to before, I'm often amazed at the practical poetry of spam.

And it still makes me wonder -- how the heck can Viagra be so danged popular? What is it about the drug that it is the most effective (ostensibly) means of getting people to bite on spam? Bizarre.
