9. The investigation popup I thought was from my college was just spam.
I found out today. That one was the worst, because I thought I was actually being investigated.

In case you're wondering, I got a pop-up from "supposedly" my university saying that my computer was being tracked. it turns out that it was spyware.

10. The most disgusting one was "Watch a teenage girl fuck a horse"
Seriously. I recieved this one almost daily last December. It listed a e-mail to get off the mailing list but that turned out to be a fake.

I ended up notifying my state's Attorney General Office and buying some good spam filtering software.

16. The sad truth about Penis Enlargement spam......
is that some of the guys who are naturally large will tell you that it can sometimes be a handicap. Some women are just, um, not that deep and too much can bang on the cervix in a painful way. This will bring a quick halt to the proceedings. Please note also that the Kama Sutra is full of positions designed to restrict the movement of the male partner while leaving the female more freedom to manuever. Average is average for a reason.

17. I keep getting a system popup telling me how to avoid system popups!
I've disabled MS messenger everytime I reboot and that seems to slow them down. Now today I'm getting them again even with it disabled!!!

Oh and the emails for Penis enlargements are really annoying. I don't get as many of those since I don't have AOL anymore. Also used to get some for breast enlargement. NOW with cox most of the spam I get for mortgage, refinancing.
