Are you smart enough?

[pippa...@gmail.com]

This is a recent spam message designed to look like one of those
quirky forwarded emails that were popular 10 years ago, before people
started putting stuff like this on blogs or twittering it instead of
forwarding it to everyone. The website also looks like a site from 10
years ago too. Very odd, and I've no idea what they're selling.

Anyway, here's the email. As you can see, 42 is one of the numbers...
