Truth is stranger than fiction. And spam. Well, spam is stranger than truth.
We received the following message today, with the subject: "Business / Traffic Proposal for perl.org". Needless to say, I will not be responding positively.
Dear Webmaster:
My name is Kay and I'm an account rep for ----core-----.com. I saw your site perl.org listed on HotBot under the term "ass gallery" and I just wanted to take a moment to introduce our affiliate program to you.

I'm not sure what's funnier -- that link exchange request, or the page that led to the hit.
