Warning! Spew Alert!!!
From Reddhead at firedoglake:

http://firedoglake.blogspot.com/

UPDATE: OMG, I am laughing so hard, and I've spewed coffee all over myself. Prof. Turner just said that terrorists may be imbedding messages in Viagra spam. Mwahahahahaha.

And Attaturk caught the same bit. From the comments:
Turner had perhaps the most insane hypothetical of all time -- "Osama might embed messages in Viagra Spam"

...wtf?

Erectile dysfuntion emails,

IF YOUR BOMB DOESN'T EXPLODE AFTER 4 HOURS PLEASE CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN

Jeebus.
Man, I'm going to be laughing about that one all day today. *snerk*


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

2. I actually saw . . .
. . . but don't remember the address of a website that will take a message that you type in, and then hide that message in a long message that looks like spam (though I don't believe it was for viagra). Then you can decode the "spam" message and get your original words back.

4. I think you're talking about this little toy...
Spam Mimic Lets you Encode Messages in Spam

SpamMimic is a website that can convert the top secret message of your choice into a spam email. You are limited to a fairly short communication - maybe about 70 characters. The server-side application then transforms your note into what looks like a common spam message. Whats interesting about this strategy is that it employs both encryption - and security by obscurity.

Its unlikely that someone snooping your internet connection would recognize the spam and know to decode it. The site offers no additional security features. If someone does manage to intercept your message - they can readily decode it using the website.

There is of course the additional concern that your message might be intercepted by an email filter and not make it to its destination.
