Despite my best efforts to keep my Inbox clean, annoying spam mail always seems to find its way through. For quite some time, I dilligently deleted these, having no use for them. Lately, though, it seems as though the spam is gaining more and more comedic value as mailers are forced to place more and more utterly random information in the mails to get them through email filters. I thought you might enjoy these, and so every week, I'll bring you some of the best selections. These are 100% real, and have not been edited at all by me. Enjoy!

Josh: This is by far the strangest spam I've ever gotten -- it contains no virus attachment or a link for me to click. It's not even advertising anything. It's just a cryptic request for me to get in touch with the sender.

Is there some sort of new technology that allows a virus to be sent simply by replying to an email from what looks to be a Yahoo account? Or has the jibberish in spam evolved to the point where actually advertising things is no longer even the point?

This may not be particularly amusing spam, so if you were looking forward to that, I'm sorry. But you can't deny that it is very intriguing and confusing.
