I received a rather strange piece of mail today. There it was, addressed to myself from the Selective Service System, an "independent federal agency operating with permanent authorization under the Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S.C. App. 451 et seq.)."

Male? Yes.
Between the ages of 18 and 25? Yes.

After poking around the web site, I learned that they probably got a hold of my information from the North Carolina DMV list (when I registered for a driver license), but (thankfully) I do not have to serve in the military should the need arise because I am a nonimmmigrant with a valid visa. Now I have to send documentation proving this fact. (I-94!)
