Kapa ga nossa?

I'm starting to think some of the lunatic spam I get is in code (either that or lunacy can be spread by computer virus). Take the following excerpt from one I got tonight:

One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed. Happiness is an agreeable sensation, arising from contemplating the misery of others.Hugs can do great amounts of good -- especially for children.
Blood will tell, but often it tells too much.

If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.
It is as healthy to enjoy sentiment as to enjoy jam.
Information is a negotiator's greatest weapon.


Loony? Or is that just what they want you to think?

And while you're getting out the tinfoil hats, this would be a good time to note that Scott has a theory that the Nigerian Fraud emails are computer generated. That's right -- the web has achieved sentience, and it's spamming you.
