Spammers are silly. We already knew this (why do they send females ads for penis enlargements?!) but the proof was certainly sealed for me sometime last week when my inbox looked a bit like this:
Honestly... If you're going to have a sale, at least decide what percentage you're going to sell at. :P

Does the spam email put the ***SPAM*** into the subject line, or is it your email client that does that?
Spam really bugs me. I keep getting offers of how to make my penis really large, or how to be better than any other man in bed... *sigh*

^ That's SpamAssassin... I used to have it delete anything it thought was spam, but because there have been a few false positives, I have it send everything to me but with a tag in the title so I can get Thunderbird to shove it in the spam folder to look at whenever I have time/am expecting an email from someone that I haven't got or whatever.

Ahh, okay... My spam shows up in my Thunderbird inbox with a little flame next to it.

Oh, mine does that too, but this is for stuff SpamAssassin's already decided is spam before Thunderbird's got hold of it. I just have a filter in TB to put all mail marked with ***SPAM*** in the junk folder so I can sort through it if ever I'm missing a Highly Important Email.
Hmmm, wonder what's happened to my gravatar? I logged into my account and it's there, but for some reason it won't show up on any sites. How odd.

Because GIFs smell of wee and PNGs are huge.
And before you start with the "oh but you can make PNGs smaller" ... LALALALANOTLISTENINGLALALA

D: I get that one all the time. You know, this tactic doesn't make me more or less interested, but if they're still doing it, then it must be working somehow. :/

He he he! I will never grasp the concept of spam email. Specially the ones that don't have a link to an active web site which someone might be daft enough to click on. I often wonder how much money, if any, these people make? Hmm... :-)

Speaking of spam, I just accidentally spammed your FAQ by asking something I meant to search for! :D

What bugs me the most is when my blogs comment system starts receiving spam. Since I've got a very good email client I don't get very much spam.
I keep wondering what exactly they achieve by sending those emails. I mean, who is so stupid that they buy anything...

I get those too! They're annoying as hell, and I don't need my penis two times bigger, since 2 times 0 equals 0, so I won't be helped anyway xD
