"Spammers Embrace Classic Literature"
You've probably been getting some of these emails. Their subject lines are full of interesting-sounding language, but the message itself is just gibberish. From the article:
"The most common theory about these messages," Carlo wrote, "is that they're part of a slightly long-term attempt to confuse spam filters, in the hopes that users will label them as spam and throw off the filters so later spam that actually includes some sort of commercial message, gets through."
My personal favorite so far:
