Got a strange email at work with a subject line of: "For a time during the 1960s it was linked with the main Crawley Baptist Church in West Green."

The main body of the email says: "Jo sometimes offered her own view from time to time. Florence with the intention of using Elsa's trust fund to study art.
The wind and dust of a thousand miles. Turnpike switched to a coin system in 1991."

What does it all mean?? :o

Did they at least try to sell you a nice kitchen?

Negative. No kitchens, no shoes, no links of any kind. No file attachments.

It's a message. The cosmos is trying to tell me something. Or maybe I've gone crazy.  :rofl:

Maybe the internet is starting to become sentient (hello, Skynet!), and this is an early attempt at communication where it's picking random phrases from existing text - baby talk, if you like.

Write in on walls! Write in on walls!
Big flashy letters always have so much more sense. They will give you a new perspective! Or a terrible headache.

A terrifying prospect.
And it picked CG (and thus Exilian) in it's very beginning.
Fear for your lives. Abandon this lowly planet before it spreads.

Just getting back and catching up with the world - sad to hear about Richard Attenborough.  :-\

Sorry to hear it - I hope you're better soon.

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.

Oh, that's too bad. :/ It would be so awesome if it was a whole page long or something like that.
