OMG!!
Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling. Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.

I've been watching the hysteria on CNET. We have a real contender for hype of the year. This will amount to exactly jack-shit, except that there will be a massive turnaround in the software market.

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.
