Happy Birthday to SPAM

[Enuff]

All the very worst to you! All spammers' should die an ultra slow painful death! Then constantly be brought back to life, just so they can go through the suffering all over again and again! Link

Maybe a sarcophagus from stargate would help?

Did you know.

It is widely believed the term spam is derived from the 1970 Monty Python SPAM sketch, set in a cafe where nearly every item on the menu includes SPAM luncheon meat. As the waiter recites the SPAM-filled menu, a chorus of Viking patrons drowns out all conversations with a song repeating "SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM... lovely SPAM, wonderful SPAM", hence "SPAMming" the dialogue. The excessive amount of SPAM mentioned in the sketch is a reference to British rationing during World War II.[citation needed] SPAM was one of the few meat products that avoided rationing, and hence was widely available.

Actually I believe SPAM originally stood for "specially pressed American meat", as Hom9r said due to wartime rationing this was the most available "meat".
