Did you know that's where we got the internet meaning for spam?
Originally, internet spam was not posting something that meant nothing, spam meant saying something over and over again repeatedly. People started calling it spam after the Monty Python skit, since they say the word spam over 200 times in 3 minutes.
Since then, on the internet, people have taken to calling anything that has no point spam, obscuring the original meaning of the word. Just like the word -blam!- no longer means happy.
