I bet you bought all the media nonsense about Y2K too didn't you?

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

You must not be very bright. The poster is not indicating anything apocryphal (if you can even understand that word).

And you obviously took it seriously by your post (troll or not).

If Troll you must, then at least have the dignity to Troll well.....or inventively at least.

Y2K wasnt apocryphal per se, it was fear over a computer glitch, so quoted poster isn't too far off in his analogy.

And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell. Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell.

Only 3 years left for designing and mass selling flying cars and hoverboards.

Well, Jaws 3D has already been made… but wasn't the joke that it was Jaws XX (or some such… and holographic, not just 3D)?

Now, that's a helpful suggestion. I have a better idea, since you're all going to die December of this year, send me all your stuff. The Mayans and I have an...understanding. Shame to see it all go to waste.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

Largely averted, because most systems have already started migrating over to 64-bit timestamps which is more than enough time to outlast human civilization.
