Here is one of the best IBM Model M reviews I have ever read.  It is very succinct.

I don't think I am that drunk!

Good gawd, please tell me that's some sort of translation!

I seriously need to get more sleep.

I didn't know IBM had a pastry division! International Business Magirics.

During thanksgiving I had pumpkin pie... YUM. I love pumpkin pie. Especially with whipped cream on the top (not "cool whip", you go to the store and buy "cream" and whip it yourself and put flavouring if you so desire).

my favorite part was this-

" nice analysis aboriginal duke "
I can't stop laughing, I think I love this review now.

To KillerBee,
nah, thanks for the offer but you keep it. I have hit diminishing returns at this point.

It makes sense if you read it really quickly.  Try it.  By skimming, I waded through the translation and came out a little bit more informed.

i'm pretty certain this is some form of autoblog/spinner where it just automatically posts saved articles that are "spun" (words substituted out using thesaurus, changed) to create unique content. The purpose is to get ranked in google and have some ppl click on a link and have the google ads show up and get monies.
yes this stuff is killing good content, but as an example from this thread, it's working.

nope still can't get past " nice analysis aboriginal duke "

Though I must say that poor columnist has seen better days.

So is this a new form of spam then?
What would you call it if anything different?
Just curious is all.

The key children have been depressed. Get it, get it??? lol
That's what happened to them =P

...and on that note I think I should finally go to sleep
peace out!

"Splog"?
Haahaa, priceless!
I wonder when spam will actually interrupt spam.
And what on earth would we call that?

Maybe the aboriginal duke decided to analyize some apple pies whilst typing on a model M to write a splog... I don't know.
