My email's Bulk Folder has been recieving strange emails for a couple months now. See that subject line? That's the subject of one of them. The yahoo filter has detected viruses attached to every one of them (which, DUH) but the actual text in the emails always has this kinda trippy poetry feel to them.

It's spammers trying to defeat the heuristics of anti-spam programs. You'll see nonsensical/non-contextual words within spam messages as well. They are trying to flatten out the score the anti-spam programs give them. You'll also see them try not to spell ViagraTM properly as another attempt at flattening the score.
