Hmmmmmmm.....
Use a text based Eliza program, feed it from some hot-topics page like Yahoos or Googles.
Pull the tech topics of the day that are causing massive searches (which usually means they are the less serious ones).
Feed one of those to Google and pull in some text for the email.
Post it as a serious user.

WAIT! This is too powerful. Its like the atomic theory. It can be used for good, but also for evil.
Forget I said anything.
