Another day another queue of spam comments to delete. But wait . . . today is different. Today:

I HAVE HAD A REVELATION!

I’ve suddenly realised the weird links, the gobbledygook, the dodgy looking articles and web pages mentioned by the spammers are not spam; they’re messages from the Devil.

Take this one for example:

‘375RdX zisokuiqaobb, //smwsvgbtimnp.com/]smwsvgbtimnp, //cfzmwtgndyga.com/]cfzmwtgndyga, //vfpydvbxeptq.com/’

They look like links, but they don’t go anywhere. Broken links, server not found messages. Dead ends. The message must be in the letters, not the link.

Over the weekend I travelled to Tibet to see if anyone there possessed the ancient wisdom necessary to decipher the ciphers, but everyone was under house arrest, so they couldn’t meet me. Undeterred, I moved on to Nepal, but they were all out cleaning up the base camp around Everest. It was a wasted journey and my demonic cipher was still untranslated.

On…
