It sounds like an azo dye. For example a dye called 1-(phenylazo)-2-napthol is a bright orange azo dye used in orange distress smokes.

Ahehe. I got that one many months ago (last year I think). At least it's interesting junk mail. As for viagra, HGH and shlong enlargement, no thanks. Who else has noticed a sudden surge in such mailings? I seem to get about 20-30 a day. Stuff like that will be the end of the web.

[Steve]

Yeah, it was from ages and ages ago. Was just having a sift through my inbox spring cleaning and found it.

Actually, come to think of it, anthraquinones are not azo dyes, and are inferior for brighter colours.

Talk about messed up junk mail... Heres the latest one to land in my inbox:

Hello,

I'm a time traveler stuck here in 2003. Upon arriving here my dimensional warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LLC Lasers to repair my Generation 3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on me. I am going to need a new DWG unit, prefereably the rechargeable AMD wrist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200 warp stabilizers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display.

I will take whatever model you have in stock, as long as its received certification for being safe on carbon based life forms.

In terms of payment:
I dont have any Galactic Credits left. Payment can be made in platinum gold or 2003 currency upon safe delivery of unit.

Please transport unit in either a brown paper bag or box to below coordinates on Monday July 28th at (exactly 3:00pm) Eastern Standard Time on the dot. A few minutes prior will be ok, but it cannot be after. If you miss this timeframe please email me.

Latitude N 42.48018 & Longitude W 071.15503 and the Elevation is 96.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRANSPORT ITEM BY REGULAR MEANS OF TELEPORTATION. THEY ARE MONITORING AND WILL REDIRECT THE SIGNAL!!
I DO NOT CARE HOW YOU HAVE TO GET IT HERE, JUST DO IT IN A WAY THAT NO SPYING EYES WILL POSSIBLY BE ABLE TO REDIRECT THE TRANSFERENCE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU BE ABLE TO MONITOR THE TRANSFER.

Although those coordinates are a secure guarded area, these channels through email are never secure. Unfortunately it is the only form of communication I have right now.

After unit has been sent please email me at: info@federalfundingprogram.com
with payment instructions. Do not reply directly back to this email.

Thank You

[bernie]

I'm a time traveler.

[adamw]

Maybe you can help them out then. Wonder if they brought any of those space fireworks? (I dont think that will ever happen). Who would take the time to write that email and send it to load of strangers? Was it you Bernie?

[bernie]

Nope.

[Matt]

I'd rather get that than this:

Subject: is this a good charge?

hey...i know im lame with b**bs...but would mixing paint and petrol together, pour it into a squeez bottle, like soap or sumthing, poke a small hole in a ping pong ball, squeez the paint/petrol into it..shove a sparkler in as a fuse..would it be a good paint charge? or how about, diesel fuel, and fertelizer and paint? anyway, give me ur oppinions on both...cheers

This guy is starting to annoy me.

[adamw]
