Spam words

The Bayesian spam filter Popfile lets you query any word to see the probability that it's a spam indicator. Some semi-random scores based on the 500+ spams I receive a day:

Sex:       0.53       0.71
Viagra:    0.91       0.0
Behind:   -0.10       0.91
Remove:    0.90       0.03 
Home:      0.53       0.73
