Captain Kirk should have been a librarian

Leave it to Mr. Spock to speak the logical truth.

A Barracuda Networks study, based on an analysis of more than 1 billion daily e-mail messages sent to its more than 50,000 customers worldwide, found that 90-95 percent of all e-mail sent in 2007 was spam.

Wow. I knew it was bad, but not THAT bad.

And in case anyone doesn’t know how email spam got its name…

I wonder if the museum has an ice-cold flag pole you can put your tongue on? Go ahead, I triple-dog dare you!
