Not the kind of spam you eat, I'm talking about the kind that you get in your e-mail. (I was gonna post this in Off Topic but I figured it would get moved here anyway http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif)

Two possibilities:

-It had the same taste.

-The internet crapped it out of its head.

-Urkel.

-The internet crapped it out of its head.

-Copy and paste.

Its from the Flying circus with Monty Python. A poor woman eats spam and lots of it.
Its a long story about how they eat rats and something about a dead priest,bla bla bla bla, and they bring her spam.
So thats why they call it "spam" Mail, when you have lots of rubbisch mails. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/spam.gif http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/spam.gif

The way I heard it, SPAM stands for Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages, because well, they're messages that are stupid, pointless, and annoying.
