 Subject: The C Days of Y2K
 This is for all you computer geeks out there. If you
 understood the majority of this poem, that defines you as a
 computer geek. If you chuckled or laughed out loud... I'm sorry, there's
 probably no hope for you. Oh well. And is it 1970, or 1972??? I'm
 confused. And for the bleeping record... Y2K is a {expletive deleted} leap
 year!!! (divisible by 1000) Thank You!
