maps spelled backwards

Yesterday I received my new favorite spam e-mail. If all unsolicited bulk e-mail were this interesting, I wouldn't mind it as much.

(Confidential to Sugar Daddy in Nigeria: I'm not talking about you. Your e-mails and all-caps style really intrigue me. Send me further details on how you want to handle the money transfer.)

The e-mail said, and I blockquote:

Hello,
If you are a Time Traveler I am going to need the following:

1. A modified mind warping Dimensional Warp Generator # 52 4350a series wrist watch with memory adapter.

2. Reliable carbon based, or silicon based time transducing capacitor.

I need a reliable source!! Please only reply if you are reliable. Send a (SEPARATE) email to me at: {e-mail address deleted}

It's not clear to me if this also needs to be forwarded on to our all-seeing overlords. I think I'll simply trust that they read Cock-a-hoop like the rest of the civilized world.
