So it’s a slow night at work, and I’m actually reading some of the spam in my spam folder, and I come across this in the body of an e-mail promising me an easy college degree (like I didn’t choose an easy college degree in the first place):

It’s probably just some spammer’s attempt to get around a filter, but I like it. Anybody else finding sonnets in their spam folders?

I may have to use “Secretly admiring the dark side of her pit viper” as my new sig.
