How 'bout the Anzhu Islands?
Ya thanks for the idea, but I am thinking of someplace a bit warmer. 
I just got this email with a gif attached (obviously I did not open it) - but I really wonder how they come up with the wording..........................
I have is dangerous. They will always someone else to I haven't even in. He was a walnut, blast them this?
It's very poetic.
Basically, most spam filters use Bayesian filtering to detect spam emails - In simple terms, a large database of terms and words commonly used in spam are gathered into a database. Your spam filter then analyses incoming messages, records a hit for every item of text that appears in the spam database. The spam software then compares the ratio of hits to the "normal" content of the email, and decides, based on that comparison, if the email is spam.
The random text is an attempt to skew the results of the comparison by including a greater number of what would be considered "normal" content, thus (allegedly) lowering the chances of the email being zapped as spam.

Company Name: I n f i n e x V e n t u r e s, I n c
Lookup: IN FX
Current Price: $ .57
Expected: This one is going to grow at a r.a.p.l.d rate.
I n f i n e x V e n t u r e s, I n c. (OTCBB: INF X) ("the Company") is pleased to
announce that it is in negotiations to acquire an interest in the Bolivar
Property located on Texada Island, British Columbia, Canada. The
Property consists of 23 adjacent mineral claims and 2 crown grants centered
approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of the town of Vananda, B.C.
Previous drilling programs have outlined a significant resource with a high
concentration of gold. One diamond drill hole across the zone returned
a one-foot (0.3 m) intersection assaying 20.80 oz/ton Gold (714.4 g/t
Gold).
Trenching, diamond drilling and bulk test sampling of the Bolivar
deposit has revealed numerous spectacular "streaks and stringers" of free
gold in graphitic shear zones. As per Assessment Report 16727, a 1735
tonne bulk sample from the Bolivar pit returned a total of 1033.13 grams
of gold. Inf1nex's pending acquisition of the Bolivar Property is a
strategic one that, along with the Company's interest in the Yew Property,
will provide it with control of a substantial portion of the mining
properties and reserves on Texada Island. Infinex intends to finalize this
acquisition by the end of September.
