Observatorium randomizing spam

There've been several news stories lately about people turning the gibberish in spam into poetry. Up till recently, none of the randomized words in the spam I got were very interesting and since I don't even open 99.99995% of the spam I get, I never saw that much of it anyway.

But lately they're putting the random words in the subject line and nothing else. So I'm seeing things like this:

      pail chordal cameron splat disc

      hyde depository beseech galenite climb

      crucifixion manslaughter backstitch randy

and this two-word elegance:

      deprivation cosmopolitan

and:

      downpour banach

and then the one that simply said:

      dobson

Ah, the beauty of spare prose!

(of course the beauty is only on the outside, if you open these missives, you find incredibly badly spelled (on purpose to avoid filters) come-ons for the usual.)
