[---------] The other day I read this article about some computer malfunction due to Y2K. According to the article, this computer would have delivered millions of dollars worth of food stamps to needy families weeks before they would normally be sent. Not to worry though, the problem has been corrected. Isn't that a relief? Just think how close we almost came to feeding the hungry! Good thing the state put a stop to that. Who knows what could have happened? Global economic collapse would have been my guess, that or increased sales of Juicy Juice and baby food at the grocery store. Then they go and blame it on the whole Y2K thing. Yeah, too bad its the middle of MARCH 1999! If your computer says its the year 2000 in March of 99 maybe your problem is that you've hired STUPID people. Or maybe the laws governing the space-time continuum just CEASE TO EXIST in the welfare department. What I think, though, is that computers have finally gotten smarter than people. Some computer was like "Hey, these people are starving! Why hasn't anybody fed them? Well here you go people, I'll feed you." And just like that millions of dollars in food stamps go to the needy. Good job, computers. Chuck full o' feeling and empathy, aren't you? True humanitarians. You're a better man than I, Gunga Din. Accept Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, computers, and they'll make you a saint. St. Computer. Pope Pentium III.
