SPAM: random web-page SPAM

So i've gotten two weird spams today. One looks like someone's description of going to an anti-fur protest that is available from an Essay factory. The other looks like a bit of a story called _Anne's House of Dreams_. There is no website in the body of the message where i am supposed to buy stuff to enlarge parts of me. But the "Subject" line very clearly looks like spam:

Subject: Zanten Johan, 30 year Rates at Record Lows in Laurel ... and i used to live in Laurel, MD. The messages are addressed to "hostmaster@giantfoo.org" which is an an address that only really appears in the WHOIS records for my domains. Weird. I guess they're just fishing for email addresses (hoping i will respond and say, "What the hell are you talking about?"), and are sending random text selections harvested from the 'net to avoid spam filters... But it's weird, and just started today.
