Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam

From the U.K. comes this cheery bit of news: Russia's most notorious spammer was found beaten to death in his apartment in what police are claiming was a non-spam-related incident.

Hmmmm.

I'm trying to decide just how to go on this one. I mean, it's already tasteless, so the question is do I turn the boat around now or plunge ahead?

Ah, what the heck:

Ask the Answer Spam!

Q: Answer Spam, just what is Spam made of?
AS: I am glad you asked that question. The makers of Spam jealously guard the secret of their delicacy. Theories abound, but I believe their recipe closely resembles their timeline, which they describe as "an interesting blend of fact and fiction."

Q: Answer Spam, where can I find recipes for Spam?
AS: Just go to the evocatively titled Eat Spam link on the Spam Web site, and feast your eyes on the dazzling array of recipes there.

Q: Who holds the current world record for eating Spam?
AS: That would be Richard Lefevre, who ate 6 pounds of Spam in 12 minutes. Mr. Lefevre also holds the world watermelon-eating record (11 1/2 pounds in 15 minutes) though no one knows which course came first. Probably not even Mr. Lefevre.

Q: So, weren't we supposed to be talking about e-mail spam?
AS: Brad Templeton is your man. He has the most complete history of the term and the development of spamming that I have seen since I began my research twenty minutes ago.
