Already on my second :-) Follow the kitties....... They know full well that if we ever here on Seti found the WOW signal........ It would be suppressed by our government here. Because that simply would do away with their way of doing thingys. Heck, I might not pay my taxes nest year. Anybody feeling more feathery now? The kitties did not even panic a bit.........still smiling and bouncy. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |

Already on my second :-) I am a bit more worried about some other dates. The first was Y2K, but a lot of people put a lot of work into making certain that one went past without too much trouble. Unfortunately, many other people do not realize the amount of work that went on behind the scenes and are basically saying that nothing can go wrong when any of the next technological problem dates rolls around... ![]() ![]() BOINC WIKI |

What do the Kitties do? LOL... I actually went to market and stocked up on multiple tins of kitty food on Wednesday. I am having some difficulty in teaching them how to open the tins themselves, however. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |
