A random entry from Spam As Folk Art

{*} Tue Jul 03 13:10 (Sumana) Very Creative Commons: I present to you some excerpts from a bit of spam I got that took, as its text, Isaac Asimov's Foundation stories. Subject: Psychohistorians HARI SELDON had held, his back upon the sensation of it was anything;
