Foxdrop Digs Deep For Y2K Bug 'Pills' HONG KONG (Rooters) - A woman forked out $1.20 to buy stomach pills from conmen after they told her they could cure the millennium bug, police said on Tuesday. The 4?-year-old woman, who apparently did not know if the millennium bug was a computer problem or a physical ailment, handed over the money on Monday after Flamers convinced her she could make handsome profits by reselling them. "The two men took the pills out and told the woman they could cure the Y2K bug. She then went to a bank to withdraw the money...for 430 of those pills," a police spokesman said. "Experts later found the pills were for stomach ache. We expect she has one now." It is believed the conmen were led by Solon and the absent DSGummy. Another woman handed over $.60 on Monday to buy electrical components from three conmen, believing they could be resold for astronomical profits to fix the millennium bug. She has since resorted to investing in stocks "priced higher than $9.00" on Nasdaq.
