Permanently DELETE files and websites you visit
But… why would you want to do that? What if you want to go back to those websites or use those files later on? If you delete them, you’re screwed - not to mention, if you delete all the websites you visit, you’re going to have some really pissed off website owners looking for you. It’s not nice to delete someone’s website after you visit. Even hackers don’t usually do that.

in claysburg many limon
The official soft drink of Claysburg, PA is Sprite, hence “many limon”, which we all know is what Sprite is made of. In this tiny town of less than 2,000 residents, there are approximately 15.7 limons for every resident when counting the number of Sprite cans and bottles in the town’s grocery store. Why a spammer thought this was important is beyond comprehension.

NORTHWEST WIND 15 TO 25 MPH
At first, I thought that I’d signed up for a Weather Channel email update service. Turns out, it was just a spammer thoughtfully telling everyone on the planet that the wind would be coming in from the northwest at 15 to 25 mph. How that works out, physically, is a mystery.

Here, we see our intrepid spammer at the mercy of the Three-Headed Megazot Beast of Nebulon 7. The beast forced our hero to type out his nefarious demands in the closest approximation of his language and send it to all the earthlings he could reach. Our planet’s doom in imminent.

Dear Customer,
Our robot has detected an abnormal activity from your IP adress on sending e-mails. Probably it is connected with the last epidemic of a worm which does not have official patches at the moment.
We recommend you to install this patch to remove worm files and stop email sending, otherwise your account will be blocked.

The worst thing is that despite the spelling errors, the source and the anonymity of the spammer, people actually do fall for this. “Hey! There are no patches! Install this patch!” Uh, yeah. You know, if people would just learn to read these things, spammers wouldn’t stand a chance. Then again, I’d be out of a job… ah, what the hell. Install away, my friends!
On the first of each month, the Spam of the Month title is given to the best spam received in the previous month. It might be funny, it might be outrageous, it might just be the most messed up thing ever to worm it’s way into my inbox. Whatever it is, it’s noteworthy.
Look for the t-shirt icon throughout the site!
