The latest silly spam: "I just want to say i love you and the crabs"

(followed by a large blank space and then seven words that seem to have been pulled out of a hat)

I'm touched. Some crustaceophile out there loves me enough to be cryptic at me. I'm a little sad, though, that they didn't tell me their name so I could show my appreciation. Apparently "123host255330@rogers.com" would rather adore me from afar. But really, you'd think someone who loves me so much would've included a link to the private website that they'd put up with the help of some friends as soon as they turned 18, wouldn't you? I mean, they must have one. It's a legal requirement before you can spam people. Either that or you have to be a prestigious non-accredited university. Emphasis on prestigious.

Come to think of it, the subject line does say "You too can have a college degree, easier than u think! x5m2." But that's kind of useless if they're not going to tell me how, n'est-ce pas?

In other news from the weird, a couple blocks down from my house there's a square of sticky paper attached to a tree trunk labeled "Government Insect Trap: Do Not Remove." I am highly amused by the notion of government flypaper--it's almost funnier than government cheese. I presume they're collecting data on how many of each type of insect are flying around various places, rather than vainly trying to reduce the number of pests that populate the great outdoors.

If it's not a lot of trouble, would you please take a picture of the government flypaper for me? Or give me instructions on how to locate it so I can go take a picture?

Um. I don't have a camera, but it's somewhere along the two blocks of Prince between MLK and Ellis.

Or they could be saying they love you with an unfortunate sexually transmitted infestation...

But that's so unromantic!

yeah, government flypaper. For some reason, it's just funny. And it kinda sounds like a bad punk band.

Wow. Now I want to figure out how to import all sorts of weird random bugs (like, say, South American army ants) and stick them to the gov't flypaper so they think there are infestations of five or ten horrific foreign pests in Berkeley, when it's actually only one domestic pest (me).
