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.
