Spam!

I always enjoy checking the spam folder of my junk email account. I have two email accounts, one for serious business like school, and another one that I've had since the seventh grade and I use for filling out the email requirement on things like free online IQ tests (I know, I know- you can't really measure intelligence). Needless to say, it doesn't really surprise me when I get seventy or more spam messages a day. I think it's fun to look at the subject lines and see what spammers are trying to lure me in with these days. I am often propositioned to become a nurse or police officer, but I have to admit that I'm concerned about anyone who becomes a nurse or police officer because a spam email told them it would be easy.
Today, while looking at my spam folder (a meager 24 messages, but the day is young) I happened to look at the date the messages were sent. The oldest ones were very expectable- March 17, 2009. But the newest messages had actually been sent from dates like March 20 and March 21. That's right- I've been getting spam messages FROM THE FUTURE. I find this all very exciting. It's like they brought their game to a whole new level, and I've been invited to play along. It's just too bad that the mystery of the dates doesn't keep me from emptying the folder without opening a single message. Keep trying, spammers, keep trying...
