Email wtf?

In my daily barrage of spam, I get these messages with really weird text hidden in them. Just now I received one that is supposed to be from CitiBank, asking me to go to a website I'm guessing so I will be stupid enough to give them my card number and password. When I go into the source code of the email, there is a paragraph at the bottom that says the following:

Sailor Moon stars battle in 1930 Yes, it's great. I'll speak my mind. Nostradamus Loft Story Robert Blake Quotes Diablo 2 Pokemon Gold XFL Tomb Raider Metallica date of birth Cliff Notes IT/Ginger many more Panasonic ??? ??? in 1838 ?????? in 1859 it was Yes No in 1855

Any idea what this means? And why would a spammer bother to put it in their email? It's not the first time I've seen this, here's one from a porn spam I got yesterday:

Review Cheers U.S. Postal Service Pokemon Gold I'm afraid that's a call for you Christmas Star Wars Cheats Never mund. in 1832 Detroit Auto Show Cookie Recipes Quotation in 1947 Lara Kroft Pictures Tattoos

WTF? Any idea?
 
well you can get intelligent spam filters.. just sit a little elf down by your mailserver and make him filter manually. Elves are known to be able to filter e-mail at a rate of thousands of messages per hour. If your mail server requires faster processing than that, you can always cluster said elves together.
