Yo! A little birdie named Chicken Little just told me that the sky is falling. He squawked something about Y2K, the new millennium, computer glitches, and the end of life as we know it. My first thought when I heard all of his doomsday predictions was, “Dude, you must be trippin’!”

Mr. Little said that all the computers are going to crash. I said, “Yeah right, and what am I supposed to do if my computer doesn’t work? Go for a walk? Watch the sun set? Get a girlfriend? You’ve got to be kidding me!”
I went to www.MedinaMall.com and immediately did a web search on the words “Y2K” and “bug.” I came up with 60 matches. The first site I visited (www.y2kisok.com) said that . . . “the end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it scenarios are no longer viable.'' I guess we’ll have to pay taxes next year afterall.

But then I found another site (http://www.athenet.net/~jlindsay/my2k.shtml) that explains how Egypt was toppled and the Hebrews were freed by the ancient Minus Y2K Bug. This dude explains that the ancient people already had computers, Moses was a hacker, and the Egyptians were so embarrassed about the Minus Y2K disaster that they wiped all mention of it from their hieroglyphics and threw their computers into the Nile.

These enlightening sites and more can be found at www.MedinaMall.com, Medina County’s home for Y2K links on the Internet. You can decide for yourself whether or not you should throw a big party on January 1, 2000 or run for the hills. My vote is to party!

In other news, this reporter has learned of a new conspiracy, the MM Bug, and it is set to infect our beloved Medina County! Beware!

If you still use Roman numerals (heck even the Romans don’t anymore, why should we?), the next year will be designated MM.

But doesn’t it seem a bit odd that this web site is Medina Mall, the mastermind of this diabolical scheme is Mark Mosgrove, and M&M’s melt in your mouth, not in your hand? We’re not sure what all this means, but it does seem more than a little coincidental, doesn’t it?!
