Years ago, I ran across the observation that spam From: lines are a good source of names for stories one may happen to be writing. I've been keeping an eye on mine (as they accumulate in my Junk folder and feed my spam filter) ever since, and it's held relatively true. Some of them are entertainingly odd, too. One of the top examples of such that I've received is "Sofia Warlord Ibrahim Coulibaly". -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
