Spammers are curious critters

So I was emptying the ol’ spam queue and noticed something strange, besides the Mad-Libs-esque grammar and senseless sentences (like anyone would think that they were legitimate comments!).  Apparently a post from June of 2011 was very popular with the spammers over the last two weeks.  I got 11 spam comments on my post Typhoon Rupert* or Janie slowly succumbing to cabin fever.

Is it the fudge masquerading as dog poop?  What drew not one, not two, but 11 spammers to this old post?

I will never understand spammers.
