Potential Y2K problems have been fixed. Washington 4:56 pm

(AP)Washington Today The Lord God Jehovah, being thoroughly amused but disgusted also at the incessant antics of his creation, humans, decided enough was enough and pulled the plug on all Y2K nonsense. He did so by stopping time and opening the book of judgement. When asked who would be first in line, He stated Gary North and Ed Yourdon. The Lord God stated that to worry was a sin and since the two individuals in question had created enough worry among mankind to last until Y3K, He decided to send them to The Real End and let them eat baked beans and drink bottled water for all eternity. Next in line were consultants and programmers who raked in millions by creating false worry among governments and corporations as greed too is a sin. They were banished to write code in BASIC until they could figure a way out to make an abacus Y2k compliant.

XXO, Fidel Castro

Be nice. Put all filthy language aside. Express yourself as an intelligent person not as some upset troll.
