WTF???

Just wanted to say: In addition to your standard spam of all flavors (mostly Viagra, porn, and stock quotes -- that's another question: why the fuck do I get so much spam about stocks?) I've just recently started getting spam in Hebrew. With an Israeli return address. What gives???

Nah, if it was religious spam I'd've recognized some of the words. As it is, the only word I recognized was "et", which is important for grammar/syntax but as far as I know doesn't have any English equivalent and doesn't contribute meaning.

I found a Hebrew-English translator online and started plugging in words one at a time and got: "Stopwatch site sale wonderful the country". After that, it listed a few things and some prices in shekels. So -- it's ACTUAL SPAM, just in Hebrew. And it's from an Israeli address, too.

How weird is THAT?

I've said it once, and I'll say it again.

I want your spam.

I think I'm in agreement. Spam would actually be fun if I got something like that.
