        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.
