Put your spam to music

If you've ever been so foolhardy as to leave your e-mail inbox unattended for a day, there is an experience you've no doubt had: foraging through the electronic haystack of unsolicited advertising e-mail to find the occasional needle — a personal message from an actual human being you know.

Heftiger Streit um Antirassismus-Kampagne
Eine Kampagne gegen Rassismus und Antisemitismus lässt in der Schweiz derzeit die Wogen hoch gehen. Ein Plakat zeigt klischeehaft einen Schwarzafrikaner mit Bananen im Hintergrund, dazu den Text: "Was macht ein Schwarzer mit seiner Frau über Mittag?"

Lets look at the facts. On 25th October 2003 the CIA released statements that warned of 'imminent Al Qaeda' attacks in Saudi Arabia. ( see BBC report ). A few weeks later, BOOM. Either the CIA has infiltrated Al Qaeda so well, that they are able to tell when they will attack, or there is something fishy about this whole incident.
