SPAM!!!!11111(SENDMONEYTONIGERIAPLZ)
The date: May 3, 1978. The culprit: Gary Thuerk, a marketer for the old Digital Equipment Corporation. His crime: Sending a sales e-mail to 393 users on Arpanet (then a U.S. government computer network and the predecessor of today's Internet). Little did Thuerk know that he'd just become the world's first spammer.
That first piece of junk e-mail (which wasn't called "spam" until about 15 years later) has been memorialized over at Brad Templeton's Web site (Templeton is a Net pioneer, the creator of the legendary rec.humor.funny Usenet group, and chairman of the Eletronic Frontier Foundation), along with a thread of outraged replies.

I thought you were saying it was going to be your 30th. <_<<br />
So uh, I don't know whether to congratulate the guy or not. >_>
Heheh....No, I am not yet 30.
I thought it was about you at first, too.
So he's the one responsible for all the slag I get in my email.
All of my spam gets redirected into the spam folder before I even look at it.
You got me Cooki. Here! Have something I made over a year ago but never posted.
Was supposed to go with this, but it was scrapped because I couldn't find decent horn players.
I feel ashamed to deprive you all of the awesome.
COOKI-ROLLED
Heheh....No, I am not yet 30.
Maybe you're not...
I suppose it helps that I know that Cookie's just a few years older than me that my 'Hmm' alarm went off.
Thought it would be something Sailor Moon-related though. o.o
*has just hit 25, does a victory lap around the forum!* hurrah, spam is 5 years older then me!
COOKI-ROLLED
Heheh....No, I am not yet 30.
Maybe you're not...
Get your via... ** shot to death **
GT....Have my babies. 😀
Cooki, I thought it was your 30th birthday too! And I've known you for 7 years. :O
o.O
Spam is older than me by only 5 years? That's really kinda scary actually.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOKIR-what?
Oh... I've been had....
Thought 30 didn't sound right....
