Rumors of 10/10/10 virus are 'utter codswallop'

You'd be surprised the incredible amount of ignorance people have with computers. At the same time you can't blame them, some people don't use their computers much at all, but they should at least DO THE BLOODY RESEARCH.

The Bible code predicts a comet will slam into the Earth in 2012. NASA is tracking a comet, Comet Wilde 2 which NASA says will intersect with Earth's orbit in 2012.

The Bible code was decyphered through the use of computers.

Hindsight is 20/20.

Guys, you need to take this more seriously... I wasn't paying attention this morning and I happened to turn my PC on at 10:10, and now I'm screwed.

All of my documents where translated into Swahili
My TV will now only record "Gigli"
my iPod will only play Jethro Tull
It emailed my grandmother all of my porn...

I tried to go back to bed, but now it is telling me knock-knock jokes while I'm trying to sleep...

I'm going to go bury my PC in a forty-three-foot hole.... heed my warning!
