While the French plan on using 100 firefighters, and other personnel, to seal-off approaches to the mountain named the "Pic de Bugarach," in the Occitan (southern) region, which many "new age" air-heads believe is either, or both:

One of the few safe places on the earth one can survive the Mayapocalypse ... Or, that the mountain contains an alien space-craft that will emerge on 21st. December: [1]

However, "south of the border:"

"In Guatemala, the national tourism bureau is organizing all sorts of festivities, including a "New Dawn for Humanity" summit in Tikal, a major ancient Maya city. Elton John, Bruce Springsteen and U2 will provide entertainment." [^]

I'd rather be at the Guatemalan concert, thanks, but I would be grateful if the end-of-the-world occurred before the circus-in-a-bloated-body that is Knight Elton John started performing. Ideally, for me, U2 would come on first, do their set, and then: finito.

What a wonderful way to add government conspiracy to the mix.

Hmmm, seal people out? or.... IN???!!!??%$%

Our firm provides Y2K+12+12+21 compliance certification. This is a critical aspect of your software and its suitability for merchantability.

Send us enough money and we will certify your software as being compliant for the end of the world, which is guaranteed to happen on Y2K plus 12 years, 12 months, and 21 days.

I think many people I know will need your compliance certification very soon, but for many American companies the "fiscal year" will end at the end of December, and capital expenditures may be "frozen" at the end of November. Other major countries whose fiscal year matches the western calendar year are China, New Zealand, France, Ireland, Mexico, etc., but: "the fiscal year is identical to the calendar year for about 65% of publicly traded companies in the United States and for a majority of large corporations in the UK" [^].

So, I'm thinking that in order not to miss on out sales of your certificate, perhaps you might offer a low-down payment to become a licensee, and try to milk that cash-cow before udder disaster.

best, Bill

Elton John
- Can play piano well.
- Is a dick,

Bruce Springsteen
- Can only do US west-coast rock and really juvenile quasi-folk.
- Is also a dick.

U2
- Competent with their instruments, but rely too much on crescendo.
- Are fronted by a total dick.

All things considered, I think I'd rather sit on a mountain.

In the rain.

Naked.

With no wireless connection.

Or snack food.

For a month.

I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
