The Gallery of Regrettable Food is a simple introduction to poorly photographed foodstuffs and horrid recipes. There's not a single edible dish in the entire collection. The pictures in the books are ghastly - the Italian dishes look like a surgeon got a sneezing fit during an operation, and the queasy casseroles look like something on which the janitor dumps sawdust. But you have to enjoy the spirit behind the books - cheerful postwar perfect housewifery is taught in every book. Sure, you'll fall short of the ideal. But what's an ideal for if not to show up your shortcomings?

By now it's pretty widely known that spammers have been adding random gibberish to the end of their messages in an effort to foil spam filters. Now that I've got a foolproof system for filtering all my email (first I have everything sent to Gmail where it's filtered then I have it forwarded to Yahoo! mail where it is again filtered) I rarely get any spam. Occasionally, some spam does make it through making for an interesting read - like this nonsense appended to the bottom of today's spam.

An oldie but still a goodie :)

Tired of receiving mounds of unsolicited letters and offers in the mail? Want to fight back? Want to get rid of that old tire in your garage that the garbage man won't take? Why not send it back with the handy "business reply by mail" postage paid envelope?

The author writes: "If you mail the spammer enough times, they may take you off their mailing list. They may also call your local Post Office to ban you from any further postage-paid mailings to them if you include your name and address anywhere on or in the package, so if you enjoy this type of revenge, keep it anonymous. After I mailed MCI six packages (tires, shingles, rocks, etc.), they banned me from mailing postage-paid packages from my local post office, but I can still drive 1 mile to the next post office with no problems."

Now wouldn't it be great if we could do this with e-mail spammers?

Get your revenge against junk mailers
