Spam of the month

If you ever contemplated a career in the exciting world of high-class prostitution, wait no further! This piece of spam that I got today can help you :)

From: xxxxxx <xxxxxx@xxxxxx.in>
Subject: Custom escort web site design.

If you are an upscale Independent Escort or an Escort Agency and want to attract high-quality clientele, you need a website that stands apart from the rest.

We are a team of 30 Professional mostly specializes in custom escort web site design with content managers and SEO services for Adult or related businesses.

Etc., etc. :)))

Who would have thought that spammers would get so specialized, and that web design for upscale escorts is a big enough niche that a company with 30 people can focus just on that. . .

The Slovenia-Slovakia mixup

As is well known, Slovenia and Slovakia are often confused by outsiders. See the excellent (and often very funny) series of posts on this subject on The Glory of Carniola.

Well, recently I've had my first direct experience with this phenomenon, when a book I had ordered from a seller in the U.K. reached me with a few days' delay. As the stamp on the envelope shows, after leaving England on November 6, the book reached Bratislava, Slovakia on November 9. From there it was redirected to Slovenia and reached me a couple of days later.
