In one of the gmail accounts I own there is plenty of new spam everyday, and the majority is related to p-nis enlargm-nt. I noticed this after checking the spam folder to see if there could actually be a real e-mail in there, but after taking a look at the 971 mails and 10 pages, I only found spam.
The subject and first words of spam-mail are very interesting sometimes, so I took the time to collect some of my favorite ones:
- no girls laugh at me now
- quality time pieces made by Swiss jewelers – also known as fake watches
- Possible friendship – Hello! I am bored this afternoon. I am a nice girl…
- This is my secret to my new life
- Are you really satisfied with your manhood size?
- I went from “mr little” to “mr big boy” within 6 months
- Famous repl1ca w4tch3s r0lex Cartier
- Thanks, we will help you fight out the cash crunch
- We offer only qualitative drugs for the cheap
- my wife has never been happier
PS – this is a very mediocre list, so next week I’ll check the spam folder again and hopefully the spammers will be more original.

Steve, thanks for sharing the Spamusenet website, first time I check it and must admit it is quite entertaining and comic.
Griffith, that is a good one :)
