I know this is somewhat "off topic," but I feel morally responsible for
passing the word on this abominable virus.  Mark will appreciate at
least of the following effects of the virus.  Pay no attention to the 
knuckles your hear dragging in the background:

 
If you receive an email entitled "Badtimes", delete it immediately. 
Do not open it. Apparently this one is pretty nasty. It will not only 
erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete 
anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer. 

It demagnetizes the stripes on ALL of your credit cards. 
It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your 
    VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you 
    attempt to play. 
It will program your phone auto dial to call only 900 numbers. 
This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. 
It will drink ALL of your beer.
It will change all of the peppers in your fridge to "heatless
    jalopeneos."

 FOR GOD'S SAKE, ARE YOU LISTENING!?!?!? 

It will leave dirty underwear on the coffee table when you are 
     expecting company. 
It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine,
     all the while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your 
     back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card. 
It will cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way that
     is only fun until someone loses an eye. 
It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs to
     passive tense and incorporate undetectable misspellings which 
     grossly change the interpretations of key sentences. 
If the "Badtimes" message is opened in a Windows 95/98 environment, 
     it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer 
     plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. 
It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and
     pillows, it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk.

 **WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN!!
