Road Robbers
BBSpot: Ford Testifies to Stop Ride Sharing.
A recent study by the Gartner Group supports Ford's claims that ride sharing runs rampant across the US. The study showed showed that children under the age of 16 were the biggest offenders. Almost 99% of children in that age group said they had shared a ride in the past week. The study also showed that ride sharing had spread to the Internet in the form of "Car Pool" message boards where the "Road Robbers" set up their swaps.

Base 51
Since bogofilter doesn't look like it'll be support base64 any time soon, I'm piping emails through this Python script:
newemail = ""
import base64, re
for line in email.splitlines():

try: newemail += base64.decodestring(line) + "\n"
except: newemail += line + "\n"
else: newemail += line + "\n"

Sluuuurp!
Reagle has a proposal for a Busy Spunge, an organization manager that will make sense of the disparate datasets of his life. I definitely have to think about this.
