Inconsistent Badgers in a Box
On April 20, I examined the large number of random words in a spam that I received. Now it's time to examine seven spam messages that I received today.

Here's the first:

-----Original Message-----
From: xxxxxxx

Subject: Re: Your Pharmacy order # 8452

OK, here's the second:

Buy top painkillers without prescription

Vicodin.....................$2.57/dose
Hydrocodone............$2.11/dose
Norco.......................$2.95/dose

The second message was nearly identical to the first, except that the "From:" line (which I am suppressing) had changed, the title was different, and the prices of the pills had changed slightly.

Here are price excerpts from the other five messages:

Vicodin.....................$2.56/dose
Hydrocodone............$2.16/dose
Norco.......................$2.90/dose

Vicodin.....................$2.50/dose
Hydrocodone............$2.14/dose
Norco.......................$2.99/dose

Vicodin.....................$2.55/dose
Hydrocodone............$2.13/dose
Norco.......................$2.97/dose

Vicodin.....................$2.54/dose
Hydrocodone............$2.14/dose
Norco.......................$2.90/dose

Vicodin.....................$2.51/dose
Hydrocodone............$2.19/dose
Norco.......................$2.91/dose

Seven nearly-identical messages, all with seven different prices. Wazzup with that?
