Copyrighted Haiku Delivers Spam Through Filters
An anonymous reader writes "Remember that antispam company that includes a copyrighted haiku (which I can't quote here due to copyright reasons...) in emails vouching for their nonspaminess and thus bypassing spamfilters?
The idea is that a spammer using said haiku to get through spamfilters can be prosecuted under the more stringent copyright laws instead of the weaker antispam ones.
Well it seems said haiku has lately been figuring in a large spam run trying to pitch the usual medical remedies for various unfortunate ailments.
What do you think? Is it time to start filtering for haikus or will Habeas succeed in thwarting the spam attack?" We mentioned this brilliant anti-spam scheme last April.

The bastards evidently used my e-mail address as the spoofed sender for some of them (I don't think they like the fact that I report them to spam cop & the ftc). Their website points to www.pharmacourt.biz.

Kneecapping works well in Northern Ireland: is actually a better deterrent because the victim is around for the rest of his natural life to remind friends & associates that it's not a good idea to irritate people.
well if you prefer porn, I have two wonderful sites to present you : "fuck clara" and "fuck with clara". Both are dedicated to our french beloved porn actress Clara Morgane. I love her, and you should do the same :)
The Reavers (a poem by Sheperd Book from Joss Whedon's Firefly)
Once upon an expedition, while I pondered extradition,
Watching many a quaint and curious patron of our local whore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at the outer door.
"Just Kaylee," I muttered, "tapping through some special chore -
"Only this, and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I still fear it, in the black, I still can hear it
And each time I try to clear it, there's its ghost upon the floor
Eagerly I wished to burrow, hide away, complete and thorough
But I could not seem to stir-oh, no! Instead I must explore -
For the poor and broken settlers who had chosen to explore -
Just for them, and nothing more.
Then the silken sight, uncertain, Inara through her purple curtain
Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic tremors often felt before;
And yet now to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
"Step away, and stop entreating entrance at her cabin door -
"It's not for you to be entreating entrance at her cabin door.
"Leave it be; do nothing more."
Presently my will grew stronger, hesitating then no longer,
"Mal," said I, "and Simon, truly we can't leave them, I implore;
`Cos the fact is they are human, and we simply cannot leave them,
Like that, hangin' from the ceilin'; reel them out upon the floor!"
Still I dreaded what we'd see there when we opened wide the door -
Darkness there, and something more.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing,
Doubting, thinking things no mortal ever dared to think to see before.
And the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token
Then the only words there spoken were the shouted words "take more!"
Jayne was scavenging already, echoing those words, "take more!"
Merely that, and nothing more.
Then into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping, somewhat louder than before.
"Surely," said I, "surely that is just the way this ship here rattles;
And the way our Jayne there prattles `bout some riches to explore -
Let my heart be still a moment while our Jayne does so explore.
It's just the ship here, nothing more."
Now then I try not to shudder, when with many a stench and flutter,
From there dropped the wasted bodies of the settlers to the floor.
Not the least obeisance made he, not an instant stopped or stayed he -
If Jayne had stopped and prayed he might my hope in him restore -
But just like some mindless phallus pokes he there into the stores.
Pokes and grabs, and nothing more.
Then that River girl beguiling, my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance she wore.
"Though these folk be broke and twisted, you," I said, "are safe; we missed it.
Ghastly grim, but sure we fixed it, ain't no reavers here no more -
Tell me what you fear so thorough? Ain't no reavers here no more."
Said our River, "Nevermore."
Cold, I watched our River standing, eyes so wide, somehow expanding,
And my own heart, there demanding, that we stay this ship no more;
Yet we cannot help agreeing there to leave no human being
With no blessing before fleeing. Now they lay upon the floor;
Blood and bone are littered there upon the chamber floor.
Bless them now, and evermore.
But our River, sitting lonely on the bloody floor spoke only
That one word, as if her soul in that one word she did outpour.
Nothing further then she uttered - just stared at those folks been gutted;
And I scarcely more than muttered "Reaver kills I've known before.
In a moment we will leave here, or our hopes are blown before."
Then River said, "Nevermore."
