I think the point is that there are some really wacky people out
there, who have gotten ahold of spamming software. :)

My favorite one is asking for the time crystals, because he needs
them ASAP, so could anyone with information please e-mail him
with offers to sell?

That one I know for a fact is serious, because the ISP I used
to work for closed his account for spamming after several long
(and very wacky) phone conversations with the guy, who actually
believes he needs time crystals!

But, of course, who are we to judge -- maybe he does!

Upon the hempen tackle ship-boys climbing;
To sounds confused; behold the threaden sails,
Borne with th'invisible and creeping wind,
Draw the huge bottoms through the furrowed sea, 
Breasting the lofty surge."
