.: DISCLAIMER :.
This is just a couple of stupid things that poped up in my head as I read this..
This is not a rant or anything, just think of it as tech humor ok...
thanks in advance..
now on with the show...


This shows us a couple of things..

1. there are a lot of dumb people in the world..
how old is that loveletter virus already ?? atleast 2 years..
goes to show how stupid people are..

2. the usa has more stupid people on puters then the eu..
having klez is less stupid then having loveletter, right ??

3. asians never trust love letters...
or they just don't have many girls on the web and are afraid of loveletters from the same sex..

4. the usa weighs heaviest in the total world scale..
perhaps the most scary thought combined with number 2

well, there's still a nightmare here in the ME from both Klez & nimda.
i know some customers till today they couldn't clean up the miss in there servers and networks .

In a way I culd have posted this in the humour section..

Atleast Hybris wasn't there.. then the huour section would need to be split.. A new sections for the Real Stupid People.. these I have a name for.. The Ciles.. Doma, Doe, and Imbo..

Which one of these is your next client, co-worker, family member (are we related)
