Last Saturday was the birthday of spam. No, not the meat product that is loved in Hawaii, but rather that much loved filler of inboxes. According to the newspaper, 30 years ago the users of Arpanet, the US government-designed precursor to the Internet, logged onto their accounts to find what is considered the first piece of unsolicited commercial email ever sent. It was a pitch for a new computer. Of course, everyone was apoplectic.

I love spam. Ohhh spammm..fried with some mustard...poor people's delicacy.
Processed meat or a process by which your meat is enlarged....hmmm
That's why they created a spam folder.
And since then, spam has been sending me emails telling me how to enlarge a body part I do not have...Happy friggen birthday, spam.
There's somethin' over at my blog for you.
I love the thread of comments! Noone mentioned travelling to Nigeria though. I guess the though of a bigger penis, even if you don't have one, outweighs the possibility of inheriting millions of dollars.
I love the Russian bride spam because you know it's really some big, scary Russian guy named Boris trying to pretend he's a hot 17 year old. Ew.
