Calling junk email "Spam" comes from the Monty Python sketch that's pretty funny. All these Vikings are trying to order food at a diner, but everything on the menu contains the mystery meat that we know as Spam. They start singing a song about Spam in tribute. Somehow, that became known as "Spamming" a conversation. Everything ends up on the internet eventually, so the term for flooding an electronic conversation with junk became known as "Spam".

Yesterday, the FBI caught Robert Soloway, 27, whom the cops call "The Spam King". This little wet nap is responsible for hundreds of millions of junk emails each year. He used Chinese internet providers to hide where he was coming from and made millions of dollars through his email scams. They're charging him with mail fraud and a handful of other things. If convicted, he could serve 65 years in jail. This definitely won't stop the spread of junk email that clogs up our inboxes, but it could make the next Robert Soloway think twice before offering me those bargain penis pills.
