Received this ultra-weird piece of spam allegedly from a time traveller. It is actually quite amusing but a bit odd as it isn't obvious what the sender might be trying to sell. Unless of course, it's from a spammer who's just practicising before he really gets going... I am also rather puzzled by the fanni@looi.com address as I know damn well I have never used that address!
