Computers: If you receive an e-mail entitled "Badtimes,"





If you receive an e-mail 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 re-calibrate your refrigerator?s coolness settings so all your ice


cream melts and your milk curdles.


It will program your phone AutoDial to call only your mother-in-law?s number.


This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank.


It will drink all your beer.


It will leave dirty socks on the coffee table when you are expecting company.


Its radioactive emissions will cause your toe jam and bellybutton fuzz to


migrate behind your ears.


It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all 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 give you Dutch Elm Disease and Tinea.


It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs to passive


tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings which grossly change the


interpretations of key sentences.


If the "Badtimes" message is opened in a Windows95 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,


but it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk.


It will replace all your luncheon meat with Spam.


It will molecularly rearrange your cologne or perfume, causing it to smell


like dill pickles.


It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is


also a rather interesting shade of mauve.


These are just a few signs of infection.
