| Well, it *could* have been PHP. :-)

Or it could have been some pre-made VB package the spammer got from
somewhere with a (sh/perl/php)-style templating system and the spammer

There are six things the Lord hates,
    seven that are detestable to him :
        haughty eyes,
        a lying tongue,
        hands that shed innocent blood,
        a heart that devises wicked schemes,
        feet that are quick to rush into evil,
        a false witness who pours out lies
        and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
