16th Joke and Trivia

Virus Warning...
If you receive an email 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; it 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 curdle. It will
program your phone auto dial to call only your mother-in-law's
number. This virus will mix bubble bath into your fish
tank. It will drink all your beer.
It will leave dirty socks on the coffee table when you
are expecting company. 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's only fun until someone loses an eye. It
will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active
verbs passive tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings
which grossly change the interpretations of key sentences.
If the "Badtimes" message is opened in a Windows
95/98 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.
Credit Card Trivia, in case someone asks:
The expiration date on the card is “fake.” You can still
use the card after its expiration date because the card
number on your replacement will be the same. The reason
why cards do expire varies from company to company but
mostly it’s because the credit cards take a lot of abuse
and just need replacing (they estimate the magnetic strip
is good for only about three or four years of swiping).
The first six digits will correspond to the issuer, including
the major industry identifier. 34xxxx/37xxxx are for American
Express, 4xxxxx is for Visa, 51-55xxxx is for MasterCard,
and 6011xx is for Discover.
- If I were two-faced,
would I be wearing this one?
- - Abraham
Lincoln
(1809-1865)

Pop Culture Madness is your one-stop information location for Popular
Culture, Popular Music, Trivia, Jokes and a bunch of other stuff! We update
our Pop Culture News daily and our Pop Music section has hundreds of pages
featuring the best and worst songs of all time. Our aim is to maintain
a family-friendly, "PG" site. We have no swearing and no gory
stuff, although some humor may need a creative explanation for younger
visitors.
Pop Culture Madness is your complete trivia resource. Click on our Home
page for oddball trivia or our Trivia
section for our ever-expanding organized trivia categories.
Our motto: "All The Pop Culture News That Fits, We Print!" We
are adding more information daily. Well, semi-regularly. If you don't
see a link for what you're looking for, then it's your responsibility
to write something up, and send it in. WE NEED WRITERS!!!
By the way, PCM does NOT allow sneaky spyware. Nor do we link to sites that have excessive Pop-ups,
spyware or inappropriate (all ages) material. If you find one, please
let us know and they are toast!
Also, since we don't "sell out" to those Pop-up advertisers,
and we're too proud (so far) to ask for donations, we'd like to proudly
point out some of our carefully chosen advertisers throughout the site.
They have some cool stuff that should be sitting in your room, or wrapped
like a present for a friend.
Please check 'em out!
