I just got the weirdest e-mail.

Okay, this email was in my inbox and I have no idea why I got it, but it's so weird I thought I should share. It's from "Alfresco B. Apply." No idea who this guy is.

Subject: I think you're meant to sprinkle salt on it... :)

We haven't been introduced... :)

Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. [Ephesians]

Ambition is a Dead Sea fruit, and the greatest peril to the soul is that one is likely to get precisely what he is seeking.
She looked as though butter wouldn't melt in her mouth --or anywhere else.

Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work.

Thought is the blossom language the bud action the fruit behind it.
A torchlight procession marching down your throat. Take me, I am the drug take me, I am hallucinogenic.

When walking through the ''valley of shadows,'' remember, a shadow is cast by a Light. Where there is life there is wishful thinking.
If you want to win anything -- a race, your self, your life -- you have to go a little berserk.

Undeservedly you will atone for the sins of your fathers.
If you don't have some bad loans you are not in business.It's innocence when it charms us, ignorance when it doesn't.The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you commit yourself to it.
Everyone believes very easily whatever they fear or desire.

The great instrument of moral good is the imagination.

For as one star another far exceeds, So souls in heaven are placed by their deeds.
In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love, you want the other person.
Every man has three characters -- that which he exhibits, that which he has, and that which he thinks he has.

The first ingredient in conversation is truth, the next good sense, the third good humor, and the fourth wit.

He who dares not (reason), is a slave.
Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion, you must set yourself on fire first.

Self-command is the main discipline.
When I played drunks I had to remain sober because I didn't know how to play them when I was drunk.

In the battle of the sexes, woman gains her greatest victory by surrendering.


And then he posts this pic :iblislink:

Had there been a link for the pic, I would have dismissed it as porn spam, but there wasn't... so WTF?

Kinda funny, IMO, but very very odd.

Dude! I get like, three of those a day sometimes. I thought someone was stalking me with advice (my email reader doesn't load the pictures, so I missed that strange part of the whole thing).

It's really, really easy to fake an e-mail address.

What perplexes me is, if it's spam, then why didn't they link to anything? Why would someone send me and Jack an e-mail from a fake address giving cryptic advice and lame porno shots?

i may be wrong but i have heard that there is a way to verify if an email address is valid by using images in the email
example
i am a spammer or email addy collecter and resaler, and you are an innocent victom - so i send you an email with a pic inbeded or href to a pic - when you read the email i would somehow be able to see that you accessed the pic or read the email and then verify your address is valid in order to sell it to others for spamming purposes, and thus feeding the machine -
maybe i made all of this up
maybe its real
just because your not paranoid, doesnt mean they are not after you.

Very interesting...don't know if I've ever gotten one though, I tend to delete e-mails from strange addresses if they have odd subjects. FYI, if anyone e-mails me and I don't know you're email, it's wise to say "Hey Libby, This is ___________" in the subject..

That's just really fucking odd though
