But what does it mean?
Over the last couple of months I have been the unlucky recipient of a lot of spam. I was fortunate in that up until very recently I seldom received any at all. But my number is up.
Speaking of numbers, there was an interesting article on Boing Boing talking about mysterious spam blog comments that consisted of a strange comment and then a 5 digit number. (You can read about it here )
Today, I broke the number one rule and actually opened one of the spam messages and was intrigued to find that this is what it said:
Discretion is the better part of valour Give Neither Counsel Nor Salt till You Are Asked For It Many are called but few are chosen A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones. The bigger the better.
The pot calls the kettle black. Barking dogs seldom bite
After a storm comes a calm. You can’t teach a new mouse old clicks. Better bend than break Wise men think alike. Any fool can criticise, condemn and complain and most fools do
Where there’s a will, there’s a relative. Football is a game of two halves The country is in ruins, and there are still mountains and rivers – japanese proverb It is easier to get forgiveness than permission. A bad penny always turns up.
