Spam thoughts
Looking at my last 8 spam emails, just the titles mind you:

Go wakeup a scraps foolhardy
by dance be reasonably
do play in breast ox
A spend is cozy presumable
With turnoff at op
by borrow an hereditament unkindly
his have in code
Which explain a selenium

(I linked to the dictionary.com page on hereditament above just to save you the trouble)

Now, I find it very funny that none of these eight "phrases" make any sense. They're almost sentences, but not quite, and were obviously created by a computer program. The person who coded that program took no pains to make sure the phrases made sense, but he /did/ make sure to take change 'a' to 'an' where appropriate.

I wonder if his boss gave him a gold star.

If you're ever writing a story and stuck for a character name, check the Sender field of your spam. Chances are you'll find something to use as a placeholder, if not the final character name.
