I'm sure you've all gotten something like this before, but I felt like sharing this one.

You have put it very well, I replied cheerfully. Indeed, you would be wise to turnback, for I think that death is very fond of Lake Mone. Talk, said Kaneke, pointing with the spear to certain silent forms that lay around.
Possibly she might be better than Kaneke; at any rate I hoped so. Look here, Kaneke, I said, let us come to an understanding.
Needed it when one hasnt washed for a week.
Lastly, as I have said, there was a gentleman in the case. I swear by the Engoi that I will not harm yonder white man, or cause him to be harmed.
I exclaimed, how fortunate that you made up your mind. This aint no place for the likes of you on a cold night.
While he was recovering I took stock ofthe man, who evidently was off his head from exhaustion.
Go on with your men and prepare the camp.
Of course, nothing, I answered with enthusiasm.
That is a matter for him to choose, Lord.
Most interesting, I repeated, but how about the lady to whom you were engaged? This aint no place for the likes of you on a cold night. Perhaps when you have time you will answer your own questions.
Quatermain, you must be wondering who I am and how I came here.
I took the bottle and handed it to Arkle, who seized it eagerly. The man arrived, unhurt, and sank to the ground, gasping out: My God!
Look here, Kaneke, I said, let us come to an understanding.

Heh. Apparently spam is now ripping its text from 1920s Allan Quatermain novels. In this case, "The Treasure Of The Lake".

Thank you Google. Wink

Maybe it was a prank for his birthday, which is today. Smile

Ok, here's the latest 'Name those random book' quotes:

I now began to neglect my patient, and constantly forgot to give her the medicine at the proper time.
My heart began to beat in unison with the words, and gradually began to repeat the question: O ke? Be careful not to mix the two, for this is a deadly poison.
In front of it is the garden, at the foot of which the river Ganges flows.
She has no children and, having been married into a wealthy family, has very little work to do.
As long as they remain alive they get no happiness themselves, and make othersmiserable. The light, coming from the opposite direction, fell on her face. Baidyanath started up as if from sleep, and once more woke into the life which he had lived before.
Baidyanath, without speaking, simply struck his forehead. Monorama came into the room, and began to talk a little to my wife.
Touching him on the shoulder, I said: Take a little water. Her shawl slipped from off her head, and I stooped down and kissed her.
Wont you take him out for some fresh air?
I had myself explained that a little exercise is necessary for ones health and appetite. The disadvantage of politeness is that it is not intelligible to all classes of people. Days and days together I went on writing farces with an agony of determination. Encouraged by this thought, I wrote a farce. Be careful not to mix the two, for this is a deadly poison.
Baidyanath began to grope about in the water. I was not going to allow myself to acknowledge defeat. Touching him on the shoulder, I said: Take a little water.
The sick-room seemed to me doubly intolerable and joyless. I dont quite know why, but this proposal did not altogether please me. At which Baidyanath, after his first shock of speechlessness, might possibly stammer out: Milk?
He placed his bedstead over the entrance, and laydown. The moonlight fell on the face of the white-clad form lying on the white marble. You will be happy, and knowing that I die happily. He did not even forget steersmen and passengers to boot.
She has no children and, having been married into a wealthy family, has very little work to do.
The consequence was that the inhabitants of both villages clearly understood its meaning.

So I guess they're all snagged from Project Gutenberg Australia. Though hell if I can figure out why Australia in particular.

Below is an image that was inserted into a spam e-mail for Viagra (or was it V14GR4?) that I received. You'll notice three things about it:

1. It's almost porn
2. It's a blatant rip-off of The Matrix.
3. It's hilariously awful

Take the blue pill... and I show you how far the rabbit hole goes...

The wording is kind of awkward. I think it would be better if it said "Take the blue pill... and go further down the rabbit hole." At the very least, it should say I'll instead of just I. Whatever. I think I may be analyzing this thing a little too much.

Her window was left open, explained Stephen.
But Lady Warren seemed to have for gotten her former interest.
Even in the midst of her own terrible excitement, Helen noticed that Mrs.
It is unusual to come to a case and find such slackness, she said. You'd probably find your baby waiting to grip your throat, he told her.
Presently he hung up the receiver and spoke to her. The door swung open, and the Professor entered the bedroom. No, replied Miss Warren, neither she nor the nurse can know. The Professor shook her formally by the hand and wished her a restful night.
Before the doctor could refuse the unspoken invitation, Helen stepped into the breach. Look here, sir, with due deference to you and all that isn't this going a bit too far?
The whimper in her voice was not assumed, and Helen knew that the past had gripped her again. She noticed, too, the glass of water and the small bottle of white tablets which stood at his elbow.

CHAPTER XII THE FIRST GAP
Newton broke the stunned silence. The Professors smile flickered and went out.
No one is to be admitted to the house, tonight.
The hall seemed calm as a mill pond after the howls of the wind. He can garage the car, and remain there, until the dawn.
I suppose Gran doesn't know about the murder? Well, if I was you, I'd oil my key, and lock my door, tonight, said Mrs: Oates.
No one is to be admitted to the house, tonight.
One of her special guards was gone-and the other had changed.
