Pandora didn’t think outside the box

Today, I was in my Yahoo Mail account and clicked to create a new message. I type in who I’m sending it to and for whatever reason, my mouse hovered of the Subject button long enough for an info bubble to say “Subject-O-Matique.”

I go ahead and click it. To my surprise, I find a random subject appeared:

So, the Subject-O-Matique is an easter egg Yahoo put into its E-Mail software. Apparantly, it’s been around for a while. Nevertheless, for your amusement, here’s a little list of what the Subject-O-Matique spits up:

  • Law firm of Herringbone, Leather & Tweed
  • Do you suffer from uncontrollable falling down?
  • A hip-hop MC performs with improvised rhyme and the spoken word, typically over a thumping beat.
  • KAR 120C where are you?
  • Wake me up when it’s time to go to sleep
  • Your earrings would make a great fishing lure!
  • Shaolin Golden Palm!
  • Re: Test Results
  • cycling over melons
  • Rupert and mummy bear go by train with Bill on holiday again.
  • ASAP’s Fables
  • To replace the normal colonic flora.
  • Sender wishes to recall message
  • Que pachuca con toluca! (I actually don’t think this translates into anything.)
  • Thank god and Greyhound she’s gone

This was a fun easter egg to find. New subjects always seem to appear, so check it out when your entertainment is slim.
