I've been doing some research on Racter [1], a program that supposedly wrote The Policeman's Beard Is Half Constructed [2], and I came across a site where a person used spam titles for poetry.
So today, I opened my spam folder, and lo, there was poetry:
Two voices were > anything to stop > homeless as they were
Drew with them, > the prisoner glanced > time there soared
Starting from sometime > into a pool > Do you know what is Cailis?
Well … the actual subject lines were:
Re: %RND_UC_CHAR[2-8], two voices were (from Torres Jerald) > Re: %RND_UC_CHAR[2-8], anything to stop (from Abraham) > Re: %RND_UC_CHAR[2-8], homeless as they (from Montano)
So these people had problems running their script, and I added a word to the last one to make it more poetic, and I love the names of the supposed senders.
Re: GFDGSKD, drew with them (from Wilkes) > Re: HBJMGLQ, the prisoner glanced (from Chelsea) > Re: GRBPLJ, time there soared (Crawford Paula)
Crawford Paula must be from the Deep South™.
Re: WADOZK, starting from sometime (from Cash Araceli) > Re: IAKNIE, into a pool (from Cooper) > Do You Know What Is -Cialis-? hevzj (from Kitty Jarvis)
Actually, I think Crash Araceli is a better sounding name than just Cash. Kitty Jarvis though, nice, but sounds like a porn starlette.
