Just this past week I've been seeing some funny stuff in my Akismet queue. Stuff like "Get full technical details about [some intimate act with farm animals]..." I must say as long as it doesn't end up on my blog some of this stuff is really quite funny.

I do like the obvious ones better. I’ve noticed more spam messages, mostly trackbacks, that seem more “legit” and they involve a little more reading to decide if they’re really spam.

A load of us were talking about this the other day. I regularly get 200-300 spams sitting in my Gmail junk and the occasional real one gets in there. I'm absolutely certain I've zapped some that I shouldn't but it's a little difficult to confess to your client that they may have been overlooked due to the plethora of penile enhancements. I think Gmail are trying to do something about it though as I've noticed over the last week or so that the occasional spam is getting into the inbox which never happened before. No it’s not just you.
