Damn you Spammers!

Nothing is sacred... that's not news by any stretch, though occasionally you see something that really drives the point home.

Case in point: I just came back from a long weekend out of town, opened my email and took a look through the spam checking for false positives.
While I was looking through the junk, I noticed the subject line of one piece of spam (I believe it was the highly reputable Bulls - N - Bears report... ah yes, investment advice via spam...) had lifted names and text directly from Isaac Asimov's (original) Foundation Trilogy.

Not even the truly geeky is safe.
