Subject: LUMPYLetter from Neil Bryan: VIRUS ALERT!


This VIA Neil and from the ECO-Village Forum  <evforum-AT-lists.anu.net>


 ********* VIRUS ALERT *************

If you receive an e-mail with a subject of "Badtimes," delete it
immediately WITHOUT reading it.  This is the most dangerous E-mail
virus yet.

It will re-write your hard drive.  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
goes melty.  It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit cards,
screw up the tracking on your VCR and use subspace field harmonics to
scratch any CD's you try to play.

It will give your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend your new phone number. It
will mix Kool-aid into your fish tank.  It will drink all your beer
and leave its socks out on the coffee table when there's company
coming over. It will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your
good suit pants and hide your car keys when you are late for work.

Badtimes will make you fall in love with a penguin.  It will give
you nightmares about circus midgets.  It will pour sugar in your gas
tank and shave off both your eyebrows while dating your current
boyfriend/girlfriend behind your back and billing the dinner and
hotel room to your Visa card.

It will seduce your grandmother.  It does not matter if she is dead,
such is the power of Badtimes, it reaches out beyond the grave to
sully those things we hold most dear.

It moves your car randomly around parking lots so you can't find it.
It will kick your dog.  It will leave libidinous messages on your
boss's voice mailin your voice!  It is insidious and subtle. It is
dangerous and terrifying to behold.  It is also a rather interesting
shade of mauve.
