April Fool

[SMW]

The people I work with must think I'm pretty gulliable to think I would believe this e mail !

DO NOT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET FROM 12:01 AM GMT ON APRIL 1 TO

12:01 AM GMT, APRIL 2 !!

***********************************************************************

*** *** Attention ***

It's that time again!

As many of you know, each year the Internet must be shut down for 24

hours in order to allow us to clean it. The cleaning process, which

eliminates dead email and inactive ftp, www and gopher sites, allows for a

better-working and faster Internet.

This year, the cleaning process will take place from 12:01 a.m. GMT on

Apr 1 until 12:01 a.m. GMT on April 2. During that 24-hour period, five

powerful Internet-crawling robots situated around the world will search

the Internet and delete any data that they find.

In order to protect your valuable data from deletion we ask that you do

the following:

1. Disconnect all terminals and local area networks from their Internet

connections.

2. Shut down all Internet servers, or disconnect them from the

Internet.

3. Disconnect all disks and hardrives from any connections to the

Internet.

4. Refrain from connecting any computer to the Internet in any way.

We understand the inconvenience that this may cause some Internet

users, and we apologize. However, we are certain that any

inconveniences will be more than made up for by the increased speed and

efficiency of the Internet, once it has been cleared of electronic flotsam

and jetsam. We thank you for your cooperation.

My personal favourite was the skateboarding ambulance men (Evening Standard), even had a skater done up like a paramedic including skateboard in flourescent green but it is a trial they said, until lunchtime

I laughed at the 10,000 or so dorks who rang apparently about diet water
