A piece of spam made its way through my filters this morning. Rather than be pissed, i was quite amused. It's for a new online casino, but includes text at the top, probably randomized, added just to get through spam filters (seems to work pretty well)...

Stir With a Knife, Stir Up Strife
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity?
And the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Had to look it up, because i'm curious like that. It's from Proverbs 1:22. How long have spammers been using Bible verses? Is this some sort of penance to balance out the greed and gambling sins? Maybe they should have used a verse earlier in the chapter, seems more appropriate....

For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird:
but these lay wait for their own blood.
They lurk secretly for their own lives.
So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain.
It takes away the life of its owners.
