A spam mail about cheap, unbeatable software offers contained the following:

>The best doctors in the world are Doctor Diet, Doctor Quiet, and
Doctor Merryman.
>If literature isn't everything, it's not worth a single hour of
someone's trouble.
>It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be
entirely uneducated.
>When you get married you forget about kissing other women.
>Gossip is news running ahead of itself in a red satin dress.
>Democracy is the menopause of Western society, the Grand Climacteric
of the body social. Fascism is its middle-aged lust.
>The loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind.
>Contraries are cured by contraries.
>Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking
living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks.
>The human heart, at whatever age, opens only to the heart that opens
in return.
>A horse is dangerous at both ends and uncomfortable in the middle.
>He is every other inch a gentleman.
>No one will do it for you.
>A man's life is interesting primarily when he has failed -- I well
know. For it's a sign that he tried to surpass himself.
>The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction
means.
>Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must
never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
>What you are will show in what you do.
>A living thing is distinguished from a dead thing by the multiplicity
of the changes at any moment taking place in it.
>Education costs money, but then so does ignorance.
In other news, pub last night was good but I didn't feel too well so left early and then spent too much time online. Bah.
Tonight I'm going to The Cow for a colleague's leaving do. Apparently, they have good pizza and considering the colleague is Italian, I believe them.

Will have a new toy soon. Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] miss_alexx!
Waiting for an order from amazon.de. More music, obviously.

Thats to get round filters that check the probablity that its an english passage of text rather than a simple advert statement.

Aha, cunning. Yahoo has been a lot better in catching spam recently but this slipped past, most likely due to the above reason.

"The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction
means."

That's Oscar Wilde. I think a couple of the others are, too.
