From a piece of spam received this afternoon:

"a rest broadcasted elastic. where expansion drove me soon? awkwardly knowledge outdid this company beyond hate. we showed that last fold without sugar. obediently. a bent harbor save store, that underlet female, angry current. Gianni rived my able cough. you sowed Leroy when skywrote them Johanna! it forbore thin bear, who befell elegantly... toward memory sang harmony, flag struck onto your dust round female curve:"

Either it's an international conspiracy of technically-gifted Dadaists, or (if this were in fact a science fiction novel rather than real life) the first awkward baby-steps of something groping its way toward sentience via the internet.

Or maybe this is just what you get when you run the same Viagra advert through a dozen different flavours of language translation software.

Gianni rived my able cough.
you sowed Leroy when skywrote them
Johanna!
it forbore thin bear,
who befell elegantly...

toward memory
sang harmony,
flag struck onto your dust round female curve
