Those of you who have gmail email addys may already know this - I'm a little slow on the uptake of overly obvious things, sometimes (no, really, I didn't realize that W was double-U until I was in sixth grade. I remember that day specifically because I thought I had THE GREATEST EPIPHANY EVER. Needless to say, I was wrong.).
When you check a gmail account at the top of the page is an RSS feed that spits out one-line worth of headlines that link you to another site, and everytime you reresh the page or click onto another section of gmail the RSS feed that you see changes. You can customize the feeds you see, but I haven't bothered, so in a single session I might see a headline from Forbes, a recipe title from somewhere, CNN's latest update, a funny quote, or something else completely random. Generally what I se is in no way related to the messages in my inbox or folders - they're just sort of whatever the google people choose to include.
I just realized that when you go into your spam folder the RSS feed changes from randomness to a bunch of recipies with spam as a key ingredient. Spam fajitas. French fry spam casserole. Vineyard spam salad. Spam primavera.
They crack me up. I love Google.
