I’m going to start designing mad science prototypes based on the subject lines of the spam I’ve been receiving.

“You FOOLS! You may think you have the upper hand now, but you’re no match for my STUN PROGENITOR!!!”
The names they come up with are great too… I’m sure it’s just an automated routine that yanks words at random from a dictionary file, but they do sound like Bond villains. And it’s no wonder if they grew up with names like “Ampere Catalina” or “Feckless Delimiter.” I don’t picture a happy family life. And the schoolyard bullying? It’s no wonder they turned to a life of crime.
