Apparently some InternetWorkers were using the lull in posts this morning to get some work done for a change. Quick, read this or you'll put yourself in danger of becoming productive. Remember all of those forwarded emails from non-technical relatives about email viruses?* I'm sure they'd want you to return the favor by warning them about this dangerous virus:

http://bbspot.com/News/2003/01/nozzle.html

"Washington DC - Americans already upset by rising fuel prices have a new worry at the gas pump, an automobile virus that can take control of their vehicles. The Office of Homeland Security has issued a Fuchsia Alert to all motorists. The virus, Autocae Electrophallus, spreads through infected gas pump nozzles during refueling."

Signs you could be infected include:

* The car begins pulling to the right
* White steam is escaping from the back of the car
* Lights on the back of your car flash whenever you push the brake
