25;;; Commentary:
26
27; Steve Strassmann <straz@media-lab.media.mit.edu> didn't write
28; this, and even if he did, he really didn't mean for you to use it
29; in an anarchistic way.
30;
31; To use this:
32;  Just before sending mail, do M-x spook.
33;  A number of phrases will be inserted into your buffer, to help
34;  give your message that extra bit of attractiveness for automated
35;  keyword scanners.  Help defeat the NSA trunk trawler!
