Sorry to clog the list, but fitting considering recent threads.

>>>If you receive an e-mail message with "End-All Virus" in the Subject line,
>>do not open it. Do not even think about opening it. If you do:
>>>End-All will immediately re-write your hard drive and permanently scramble
>>all stored data.  Not only that, it will scramble any disks that  are even
>>close to your computer.
>>>It will also recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all your
>>ice cream melts.
>>>It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit cards, screw up the
>>contrast and colors on your television, change the clock on your VCR and
>>microwave, and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CDs you try to
play.
>>>It will add your name and phone number to every telemarketers list.
>>>It will mix Kool-aid into your fishtank.
>>>It will leave dirty socks on the coffee table when company comes over.
>>>Your PC monitor will be turned into a "green screen".
>>>It will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit pants and
>>hide your car keys when you are late for work.
>>>It moves your car randomly around parking lots so you can't find it.
>>>It will kick your dog.
>>>It is insidious and subtle.
>>>It is dangerous and terrifying to behold.
>>>It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve.
>>>
>>>End-All will give you Dutch Elm disease and athletes foot.
>>>It  will leave the toilet seat up.
>>>And it will leave bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase
>>gradeschoolers with your new lawnmower.
>>>It may also leave "ring around the collar" on your favorite shirts, rent
>>adult videos on your card, and then publish the list on the Internet for all
>>to see how kinky you really are.
>>>Crash an asteroid onto your home town.
>>>Make prank phone calls giving your real name.
>>>Order items from the Home Shopping Network using your credit card number.
>>Phone your mother-in-law and tell her what you really think of her. And
>>invite her over to stay a while.
>>>So if you receive a message marked "End-All Virus," delete it immediately
>>or life as we now know it will surely come to an end.
