Return of the Weird Spam Report

Lately I've been getting a number of spams that are even weirder than the www.url98u.com ones from last year, in that these don't even attempt to sell anything or generally make any sense at all. They're just medium-sized collections of aphorisms and pithy sayings. The best part (for those who enjoy these sorts of things) is the names of the people supposedly sending them. Yesterday, for example, I received this from a certain Anopheles T. Reestablishing:
What's up, then?

Sampai jumpa lagi All men are alike in their lower natures it is in their higher characters that they differ.

The sweetest joy, the wildest woe is love.
The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts.
A lie can run around the world six times while the truth is still trying to put on its pants.
A pint of sweat will save a gallon of blood.

What is important is not to be able to read rapidly, but to be able to decide what not to read.
Civilization -- a heap of rubble scavenged by scrawny English Lit. vultures. If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people jumping up and down for joy.

A book is a mirror: If an ass peers into it, you can't expect an apostle to look out.

The major justification for a life is the happiness and reward it brings to other lives.
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
You have to make it happen.

Thou shalt not covet but tradition approves all forms of competition.

Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.
A father is a banker provided by nature.

In good films, there is always a directness that entirely frees us from the itch to interpret.
Lawyers know life practically. A bookish man should always have them to converse with.

Divorce is a declaration of independence with only two signers.
Previous such spammers have included Monoxide A. Goner, Selectmen M. Infestations, Venal C. Suspicions, and Gujranwala C. Cosmetic (the latter two were less verbose -- all they said was "Oops... :) Hei, hei," and "What's up? :) Bo yi bo wa," respectively).

I'm not really sure what all this tells us about anything, other than that Strong Bad is probably right about the Internet.
