[...] those who feel like a dolphin in a humanbody.

That one's strange, although still relatively harmless.

But oh what coldest shivers would travel through my body would I read of:
We're those who feel like praying mantises in a human body!

Here's one that arrived in my inbox the other day:

Good evening

Seriously, what the hell is this crap? It's not even advertising a product! It's like someone has a vested interest in wasting people's time and making it a pain in the keister to communicate via email. 10 points if you can guess who might have just such an agenda?

It didn't surprise me one bit to read that the US still takes the spam crown of the world.

the aim of sending out such babble may be simply to dumb down spam-filtering systems. most of modern filters learn to distinguish spam from not-spam by analysing the vocabulary of messages (among other things). in short, if a message contains words that are often found in spam (such as "viagra" or "erection"), it scores more "this-is-a-spam" points after being processed by a filter. when the filter is being fed with messages containing random phrases, it looses its credibility as it tends to give positive scores to legitimate e-mail more often.

Exactly! "Do NOT kill the clock!" Not to worry, Ciallis (or whatever it's called) has a timed released formula now. For "when the moment is right," which apparently is definite on certain occasions.

Sometimes I have to laugh instead of cry. :(

Hey All,

Well, I haven't had too much interesting spam lately, though, and I wish I had saved them, I have had spam that threatens to take me off their list unless I respond. It was quite funny because I couldn't be arsed to unsub from this list, and then it starts threatening me that if I don't respond, I'll be unsubbed, so I was like, sweet, cause I hate doing stuff. To make a long story short, I am still getting emails from this list/spam thing and am just too lazy to unsub...

[...] those who feel like a dolphin in a humanbody.

That one's strange, although still relatively harmless.

But what if it was a serious appeal? What if, as the Wave approaches, some people, all over the world, are beginning to have involuntary dolphin-like sensations? Cravings for raw mackerel? An uncontrollable desire to head butt a mako shark in the abdomen... at 60 mph?

Wouldn't they be trying to seek one another out? Voila! Spam!

Hey, the Rosicrucians used to advertise in the back of comic books and stuff. People with aquatic mammalian FRVs could be desperately reaching out to network with their own kind.

Or not.

I just found this thread yesterday. Then today an actually useful piece of spam came in. How often does that happen?

Anyway here is something that I never knew, that has caused hassles on more than one occasion.

I have been driving for nearly 50 years. I would think I should have noticed the little secret on my dashboard that was staring me in the face the whole time.

I didn't...and I bet you didn't either...

Have you ever rented or borrowed a car and when arriving at the gas station wondered, "Hmmm, which side is the gas filler cap on?"

My normal solution was to stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look, try to see in the side mirrors or even get out of the car!

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to share with you my little secret .

If you look at your gas gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump.

The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the gas pump.

If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left. If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo). It's that simple!

There you have it. Knowledge that protects from having to move your car to another pump.
