You Don't Say...

So here, verbatim, is the text of spam I just got:

Hello,

Yesterday I had his own explanation of that tale of Levasseurrefitted for sea on the other, Captain Blood was pondering the riddleto line the bulwarks and view the great stately vessels that weremarry her.girl?Nuttall.

Huh?

A couple of snippets of it I can understand:

-- "No marrer." Not a problem; Passover was months ago.
-- "These bullocks were handed over" -- clearly a reference to some korban (sacrifice brought in the Temple. See Leviticus.) or other

But the rest of it? Completely flummoxing.

But what were they trying to sell you, or get you to do? If this was just some random phrases strung together and emailed, with no intention of persuading you to do anything, I don't think it counts as spam. Unless the point is merely to annoy people. Or perhaps it's a test run for future profit-seeking spam.

Who knows. I sometimes wonder if it's just to see if they've got legitimate addresses and see which ones bounce.
