I often wonder whether the deceptively chatty subject lines of Viagra
spam are evolving or not; that every successful click or purchase
increases the fitness of the relevant subject line, and that the sort of
people who eagerly open emails from total strangers who "saw them today"
are of the same demographic who think they need Viagra.
If this is happening, then I've just received the most hopeful, hopeful
monster in the world (and was momentarily reluctant to strike such a
fragile beauty from the gene pool) - "You left your umbrella."

The absolute best thing about the current Alistair Campbell imbroglio is the
shifty self-referentiality of the BBC news, as it reports on the
decisions and reactions of the BBC as a whole. Newsreader Huw Edwards
telling us that "the BBC has cast doubt on this new allegation", casting
doubt on the new allegation as he does so.

It can be troublingly easy to break into your own house,
when you need to. Admittedly insider knowledge counts for a lot,
but it's bad to be wandering around the place where you live,
feeling quite optimistic that someone's left a window open, or
that you've possibly forgotten to lock the back door; when your
house's breakability stops being vague and hypothetical, it becomes a lot
more vulnerable. Try getting home without using any keys, tomorrow.
