6. Apparently, they're trying to shove one dollar magazine subscriptions at people.
Are they also trying to shove the SI magazine at you? I'm guessing they're the kind that "automatically renew" unless you beat them to death, cancel the credit card, and threaten them with legal action if they don't stop and credit you!

Or maybe someone was surfing for stuff on Amazon using your computer! That can really mess it up too....to say nothing of that odd gift that you can't stand but you know is just the ticket for a loved one!

8. You're a person of multiple and flexible interests
apparently.

I wouldn't be surprised to find an odd pairing like that on my recommendations page.
