    I was in college during the years leading up to y2k and supported myself at the time getting IT infrastructure ready. Some friends and I decided to write a “virus” that, on bootup, checks to see if the current date is in the first week of January 2000 and if it is and a backup of the fonts is not found (so it’ll only run once) then it’ll back up your fonts and alter the originals to replace the y character with the k. This affected everything system wide.

    That created more chaos than anticipated.


  • Looks like this particular popemobile was recently commissioned, and it’s large. Built on a dodge ram truck. He planned to donate that from the beginning, though I suspect he expected to be alive when it was converted.

    In related news this is the first time a popemobile was used as a hearse, since it’s spec’d in a way that allowed that.

    I think it’s clever. If it still resembles a popemobile after the conversion the image of it destroyed may haunt Isreal. But yes, he ensured it would be feasible.





  • If this is a serious question these are normally sold to hospitals and compound pharmacies. They’re to ensure drugs are administered properly and safely. The company that makes these was baffled when this meme started since it was only their rectal stickers that were selling out, and it created actual problems for pharmacies. Some had to hand write these with marker for a while.
