Hello all:

Wow, this sound REALLY dangerous...

Doc

Armageddon Virus Alert...

If you receive an e-mail with a subject line of "Armageddon", delete it
immediately without ever reading it. This is the most dangerous e-mail
virus the earth has ever seen.

It will re-write your hard drive in Braille. Not only that, but it
will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will
recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all your ice cream
melts and low-fat milk curdles. It will demagnetize the strips on all
your credit cards, reprogram your ATM access code, screw up the
tracking on your VCR and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any
CD'ds you try to play. It will give your chatty ex-girlfriend your new
phone number. It will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink
all your beer and leave its dirty socks on the coffee table when
there's company coming over. It will hide your car keys when you are
late for work
and interfere with your car radio so that you hear only static while
stuck
in traffic. It will give you erotic nightmares about circus midgets. It
will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all
while dating
your current girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel
rendezvous to your Visa card. It will reach out beyond the grave to
sully the reputations of your dearly departed.

"Armageddon" will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet
seat up and leave the hairdryer plugged in dangerously close to a full
bathtub. You will suffer the agony of psoriasis. It will wantonly
remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, and refill
your skim milk with whole. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous
and
terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve.
This virus will cause your nose to run uncontrollably. These are just a
few signs. Be afraid of "Armageddon"... Be very, very afraid!
