Words, Parsing and Ads

I sent an email using GMail to someone today. After I sent the email, the next ad that was displayed by Google, was exactly on the topic that I had written the email about.
While I knew that the system does parse emails to display the appropriate ads - it was a tad surreal to see the ad so accurately reflect the content. (This wasn't a simple word matching, it was more complex than that.)
