Travis Smith: my resume, bio and photos back to the main blog page

OK, so can anyone explain this spam I got that seems to be meant for terrorists?  I present it here completely unedited, and I’m totally baffled by it.

My theories:
1) It’s a prank that is annoying and puerile.
2) It’s an FBI sting to catch dumb terrorists, that is annoying and puerile.
3) It’s a sly slam against AT&T (see bottom) that is annoying and puerile.
4) Someone is crazy, annoying and puerile.

Tell me your theory… And let me know if you received it, too.

Overheard

“The superior man contains the means in his own person. He bides his time and then acts. Why then should not everything go well? He acts and is free. Therefore all he has to do is to go forth, and he takes his quarry. This is how a man fares who acts after he has ready the means.”

“Greatness is only a matter of will.  It is the end result of patience, determination, direction and strength.”

“As in 2007, the average U.S. worker has 14 vacation days this year. Just across the Canadian border, our counterparts get an average of 17 vacation days annually. But if you want a real “vacation envy” complex, consider the vacation banks of European workers. France tops the list with an average of 37 days, followed by Italy (33 days), Spain (31), the Netherlands and Austria (28), Germany (27) and Great Britain (26). “
