For spam to work, to be cost effective it must be generated fairly  
simply, quickly and in hugs numbers by an automated process.  For a  
while they were trawling Gutenburg and sending things like quotes  
from Shakespeare.   Lately it just seems to be a collection of  
words.  I would guess that wikipedia, google and blogs would be a  
timely resource for spamming activities.
