Intro
So I started collecting these sentences tacked onto Spam.
I know it's just obscure text scrambled by a computer program designed to fool the filters, but it sometimes makes sense, as if the computers generating it are learning, developing their own rudimentary sense of style and humor?

Where it comes from: I did some research, most of the stuff I'm starting out with here is obscure 1920's fiction lifted from Project Gutenberg of Australia. Also got one the other day that was an old Edgar Rice Burroughs (of Tarzan fame) Mars story.

I'll include Book Names as the headers in the journal, for those curious about the origin, and add more info to this page as I add more spam.

Note: I run the stuff I receive through spell check to fix the scanning errors, and add paragraph and chapter breaks for readability. Everthing else is as received.

Happy reading!
