I guess the Y2K situation has made it nto the minds and hearts of all of us........now the first Joke (at least that I have seen) has hit cyberspace. Here it is:

The Top 15 Unforeseen Consequences of the "Millennium Bug"



15> IRS demands a hundred years of interest from stunned taxpayers.

14> "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" song gets stuck in infinite
loop.

13> At the stroke of midnight, Windows 99 turns back into DOS 1.0,
the Pentium V turns back into an 8088, and the Handsome User is
left holding a beautiful glass mouse.

12> Internet Movie Database now lists "1901: A Space Odyssey"

11> Residents of Indiana have to figure out if they're off by 999
years, 364 days and 23 hours, or 1000 years and one hour.

10> Bob Dole's age erroneously listed with only 2 digits.

9> Mel Brooks's "2000 year old man" skit stops being funny....
Oops, too late.

8> Sales of Coca Cola jumps drastically after original
cocaine-laden formula becomes legal again.

7> Software engineers point out that since computers think it's
almost 1900, we technically have to "party like it's 1899,"
which, frankly, doesn't seem like much fun.

6> Microsoft declares the year 1900 to be the new standard of the
"Gatesian" calendar.

5> Jesus shows up late for His second coming, blames it on COBOL
programmers.

4> Computers temporarily fooled into thinking Strom Thurmond is
only 103.

3> First Top 5 List of the year? "Reasons No One Would Ever
Assassinate President McKinley"

2> Using a computerized adoption service, Michael Jackson
mistakenly takes home some octogenarians.


and the Number 1 Unforeseen Consequence of the "Millennium Bug"...


1> Unexpected demand for COBOL programmers results in severe
understaffing of fast-food restaurants.
