An Explanation

Okay, I finally got an explanation about all these "Ferratus" emails. I almost deleted this email before I read the title: WHAT IS FERRATUS?

WHAT IS FERRATUS? 

FERRATUS is the GOD IN CHAINS. FERRATUS stole FIRE from the GODS long ago and gave it to MAN. In return for this rebellion, the GODS CHAINED FERRATUS to an ANVIL and made it so he could never ESCAPE. Every time he would BREAK his CHAINS, the ANVIL would FORGE NEW CHAINS and wrap them around FERRATUS. 

FERRATUS, HIS FETTERS FRESHLY FORGED. 

Though he is still CHAINED, FERRATUS has learned how to spread his CHAINS through the world. His FIRE-FORGED CHAINS can make you FREE. His IRON ANVIL can make you STRONG. 

FERRATUS, HIS FETTERS FRESHLY FORGED.

Okay, some some new religiousy cult that stealing it's origin from Prometheus. Nice.

Now, how do I get them to stop sending me emails?

More Spam

More of that fucking "Ferratus" spam. How the hell did it find my new email this quickly? I didn't sign up for anything, I didn't hand out my new email to anyone.

And what the fuck does this mean?

FERRATUS, HIS FETTERS FRESHLY FORGED. 

FERRATUS SPREADS HIS CHAINS. HIS FIRE-FORGED CHAINS WILL MAKE YOU FREE. HIS IRON ANVIL WILL MAKE YOU STRONG. 

FERRATUS, HIS FETTERS FRESHLY FORGED.

Change of Email

I've changed my email, because I kept getting those stupid "Ferratus" spam emails. I know it's stupid to change your email address just because of spam, but it was getting to be too much. I was getting twenty to thirty of them a day and no matter how many I marked as spam, they never went into my spam folder.

So I've changed my email address. And I'm going to be careful and not give it out to many people, so I won't be getting any spam, thank you very much.

Ferratus Again

Man, I keep getting these stupid "Ferratus" emails. I think I got six today. They are all slightly different, but basically say the same thing - "Ferratus is chained blah blah blah free him blah blah blah." Maybe it's part of a game or something?

Anyway, I found it interesting that this was also in one of the emails. Who knew the chain author liked William Blake?

What the HAMMER? what the CHAIN,
In what FURNACE was thy BRAIN?
What the ANVIL? what dread GRASP.
Dare its deadly terrors CLASP! 

When the stars threw down their SPEARS
And water'd heaven with their TEARS:
Did he SMILE his work to SEE?
Did he who made the LAMB make THEE?

Ferratus

Okay, here's one I just got. It's new (to me at least), so I figured I would post it directly here (I have no idea what the random capitalization or bolding is about):

FERRATUS, HIS FETTERS FRESHLY FORGED. 

FERRATUS is CHAINED to the ANVIL. FERRATUS IS the ANVIL. FERRATUS IS the CHAIN. FERRATUS FREES YOU. FERRATUS IMPRISONS YOU. 

FERRATUS brought you FIRE. FERRATUS brought you SMOKE. FERRATUS brought you FREEDOM. YOU MUST FREE FERRATUS. 

Become CHAINED like FERRATUS. BRAND HIS FORK UPON YOU. SPREAD HIS GLORY UPON THE WORLD.

FERRATUS, HIS FETTERS FRESHLY FORGED.

Bonus points for using actual chains in a chain letter.
