I’ve managed to save up roughly $70517 in my bank account, but I’m not sure if I should buy a house or not. Do you think the market is stable or do you think that home prices will decrease by a lot?
The number changes each time, both most everything else stays the same. Now, this doesn’t seem to be selling anything, so I can only conclude that the numbers put in the dollar amount is some sort of code the terrorists are using to communicate. Can anyone crack this?
LOL! Seems to me you have too much time on your hands. Actually that’s Calypso Louie Farrakhan’s subliminal messages to the mother ship hovering up there where we can’t see it. Another thing it could be is John Murtha’s message to the terrorists he seems to be so fond of. Beware if you get one with the numbers 666 in the price, that’s dangerous, LOL!
Maybe you should get them in touch with the Nigerian spammers so they can scam and spam each other.
Nigerians can send fake cashiers checks to this guy, who can buy a house with no money down, and the seller of the house can spend that on a Russian internet bride and herbal viagra. Yeay! Everyone gets screwed!
Assume, as always, that it’s George Bush doing something evil. Wait for Ted Kennedy and Harry Reid to rescue you.
I think that’s really quite a fascinating theory. Perhaps you should apply for a Homeland Security grant so you can monitor viewings of your site by unknown “security risks.” Make sure it’s a firm with fantastic credentials which also demands a large salary, so you can take 10% for contracting them. And, if you don’t bring this to the attention of the authorities, and it turns out to be something, you could be arrested for aiding terrorism. So they will have to respond with a grant, ’cause I brought it to your attention and now you’re liable.
Maybe you should just delete this comment. I’d be totally paranoid if I were you . . .
But, of course, if you did that, you’d be a whiny money-grabbing liberal.
Sounds like someone needs word verification for comments.
I’m not sure I’d be contacting ANYONE in Homeland Security! These are the guys that came up with the bright idea that every 80 year old woman needs to be frisked before she get’s on an airplane! You might end up playing “Hide the Salami” with Abdul down in Guantanamo!
Shawn, they tried that (with numbers) once. It didn’t actually do anything.
I have no idea, Frank. Your guess is as good as mine.
I love the “roughly $70517” bit.
It’s a little too precise for a “roughly.”
How old are the old posts? How old do posts have to be before they’re locked?
I know those are kind of irrelevant questions, but I was wondering about them anyway.
Is it wrong to sign up spam e-mails to other spam lists?
My first guess was that 70,517 was a prime number, but it’s not. It’s divisible by 151.
Could it be that I have too much time on my hands?
Courtney Gidts is an anagram for:
I think its a conspiracy to annoy people.
Some of my regular spam just has to be secret messages of some sort. They’re too odd and random-looking to be anything else.
Either that, or some rogue AI just woke up and hasn’t got the language module right yet.

All of those would be kick-ass names for punk bands.
As for spam, I have to crack up when every morning I get a dozen mortgage spam emails from folks like Orsk Sanchez, Dolly Pembroke, Giovanni Fast Elk.
It’s crazy bullshit spam…I get that email all the f***ing time.
I’ve managed to save up roughly $345,090 in my bank account, but I’m not sure if I should buy a house or not. Do you think the market is stable or do you think that home prices will decrease by a lot?

Do you think the market is stable or do you think that home prices will decrease by a lot?
Yes, I do, and I’m a Certified Financial Planner.
buy, buy, buy
JO=> I think you watched a little too much Da Vinci Code.
Wait! that’s it! 70517! Maybe its some sort of crude code to enter the lost crypt. Or it’s Jimmy Hoffa’s Teamster union number.
I think Jo’s right. Roughly a year from now the lights will go out in NYC.
I don’t know, but you should set her up with Adam Abajo, he needs somebody’s account number to transfer US$12.8 million to America. That way, she doesn’t have to worry about the market going up or down.
i always think the same thing when i get that kind of spam. because it doesn’t even contain a link to anything. maybe we should start sending these to the FBI.
It is a sign. Frank Answers must return.
My spam either tells me that I need to go to the gym, or asks me if I’m satisfied with my “unit.” Or both.
