Remember all the hupla over 9/9/99? They were saying that computers didn't know what to do after reaching all 9's and everything was going to shut down.

BTW - to answer your question - why, 12:12, of course...

Actually the world's supposed to end on 12/21/12 according to the Mayans.
What's gonna happen to ZR-1 values on 12/22/12?

They'll be worth nothing, of course. But if anyone wants to cash in before then I'll give them 50 bucks cash...

I know back then on the systems I wrote code on, without patches these systems would have failed on all 9's. They didn't because lots of work was done. Most people just thought it was a fluke that nothing happened.

They could predict the end of the world but not their own world. How long have they been gone? haha

Oh and I can't wait to see how many people kill themselves on the 21.
