I was perusing my junk folder this morning, when this spam caught my eye. I have no idea what it says, and I’m sure not going to click on the URLs, but..gosh, it just looks so cute and benign! I especially like the stars and musical note:

  1. I tried changing the fonts to see if it was some kind of encoded transliteration.
    Voilà! A bunch of new fonts I never had! Be careful on this; I’m re-OS-ing this Acer Aspire later today anyway, but will find it interesting to see how many of those new fonts stick around!
