My brother-in-law sent this to me. I presumed it to be humor, but
thought I should share it with you gurus, just in case. You never know.

Firebringer News Service (FBNS) - Experts warned today of a new and
deadly threat to our beleaguered civilization: the 100GB Bug.

As most people know, McDonald's restaurant signs show the number of
hamburgers the giant chain has sold. That number now stands at 99
billion burgers, or 99 Gigaburgers (GB). Within months or even weeks,
that number will roll over to 100GB.

McDonald's signs, however, were designed years ago, when the prospect of
selling one hundred billion hamburgers seemed unthinkably remote. So the
signs have only two decimal places. This means that, after the sale of
the 100 billionth burger McDonald's signs will read "00 Billion Burgers
Sold."

This, experts predict, will convince the public that in over thirty
years no McDonald's hamburgers have ever, in fact, been sold, causing a
complete collapse of consumer confidence in McDonald's products. The
ensuing catastrophic drop in sales is seen as almost certain to force
the already-troubled company into bankruptcy.

This, in turn, will push the teetering American economy over the brink,
which, finally, will complete the total devastation of the global
economy,
ending civilization as we know it, and forcing us all to live on
beetles.

"The people who know, the sign makers, are really scared of 100GB," one
expert said. "I don't know about you, but I'm digging up a copy of THE
FIELD GUIDE TO NORTH AMERICAN INSECTS and heading for the hills."
