The one true best spam name ever.

We all get spams from nonexistent people with generated names, and they're funny a lot of the time. But this one broke me for an hour solid. It's worthy of a comic novel. Today's mail was from:

Salome St. John

Wouldn't it be Judy Holofernes?

I usually don't like one-name people, but Salome... you really have to leave that one alone. =)

I keep a file of spam names for use as dummy data in web applications and such. Some of the most memorable ones I've gotten have included Xiaoguang Barzenski, Speedboat L. Fairway, Yong Vargas (who was, I believe, trying to sell extreme porn) and Chun Ringer (which sounds vaguely indecent in itself).
