    We are screwed. In 7996 years, all date values will no longer be printable in those 4 letter arrays and computers will crash our infrastructure, Fusion Power generators developed by then will explode in huge pink fireballs and earth will be history. Thank god we had a poodle on Mars when that happened.

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.
