Actually what it is is a set of random words. This randomness will
prevent most baynessian spam filters from removing it or marking it as
spam. This means that because it did not bounce, nor was it likely to be
removed as spam, then it kind of verifies that your email address is a
real live one.

Now watch for the increase is spam to hit your mail box.

More to the point, because it can be shown to be most like a "live one"
then it is worth more $$ to the spam list creators for on selling.

It the Friday 13th bomb. It will rm all partitions found in
/etc/fstab at 12:34 (not 5:30am) on Friday 13th.

That's only what Windows users see. It's "bilingual". The
Linux component will rm all drives in /etc/fstab.
