Oh how some wish we were gone. I think we'll be here for awhile longer than that.

*sigh* again? I'll get my life vest out, now where did I put that?

**superflysmith** · 04-01-2005, 08:01 AM

You had better. You live right on the coast
Somehow I just don't think a wave could possibly come this far inland. I guess a tsunami from Lake Michigan could possibly wipe me out. LOL

All these chicken little people make me think of Ghostbusters. When Peter has the talk show and there are several people on there all with different dates for the end of the world. One guy says it will be in a few days or whatever. He turns to him and goes, well that isn't even enough time to get your book on the NY Times #1 spot.

Talk about crimes of arrogance! They're so full of their own religious dogma that they bastardize their own text to fit the current trend...

**DumberDrummer** · 04-01-2005, 12:36 PM

I'd be careful what you read online today. (April 1st)

I went to slashdot, and saw a story about the first computer virus that could infect humans too. So....

1992 called, and wants its joke back.

Note to staff: The thing about April 1st jokes is that they should be subtle enough to catch the reader unawares. There's nothing subtle or clever about a constant slew of joke stories, most of which wouldn't fool even my PHB. Consider trying for a ratio of about 5 real stories to 1 "fool" story next year.

Apparently this was a joke. Might be true about the other one too, but I don't know- haven't researched it.

**DumberDrummer** · 04-01-2005, 04:02 PM

Yeah, I knew it was a joke. Wikipedia is pretending that they were acquired by Brittanica in a hostile Takeover.

According to a local radio station michael jackson overdosed and the fighting illini have been dq'd from the final four...I believed it until about noon when I realised it was april 1st

**40sondacurb** · 04-01-2005, 06:14 PM

yeah, I was perty sure that prediction wasn't in the Koran.

You know the only thing the Koran says about womens dress is that they should dress apropriatly, it never says they have to where a vail and all that, arabs were making their women do that before Muhammad.
