Mars hoax?  I don't remember that one, unless you are talking about Orsen
Wells.  The Y2K one was funny as heck,  Considering I had checked my computer
out in 1988 to see if it would take the year 2000 and up.  Not knowing that
the hackers back then were doing their job very well and had us protected.
The polecats in Washington and Billy Gates just wanted people to buy new
computers and get away from Win95 and DOS based systems.  It's like all of
these new "flu's" that we get every year.  I don't get the flu shot and I
don't get sick, take the shot, and I am sick for over a month.  What gives
there?

 Heh!  Probably true about that.  It's their job to harm us :(
