By the hundreds. Not at all strange. Welcome to the nuisance.

It's a method to try confuse learning type filters. They also put text 
gathered from fiction books (ie, not random). They may have an html part 
that contains the "real" spam, or load a .gif image with it - filters can 
not look at the image.
