Guess what is happening on Wednesday of this week?
This came in my email:

At two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning,
the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.
That won't ever happen again.

Pretty cool.

10. If you read Isaac Asimov's story "Nightfall"
You would not take those hundred-year events so lightly. In that story, such events brought on cataclysmic results mostly due to human stupidity.

Rumors, lies and bs must be spread to them about this right away.
