WHAT do I long for?
WHY can't I say?
And HOW does she manage to know anyway?

The Armageddon Virus
There was once a world very like ours, in which people were rapidly becoming utterly dependent upon computers. One mad genius decided it was time to destroy all the computers, demolish the present society, and start over. So he programmed an indestructible self-replicating virus that would read a program’s binary code, then reverse all the ones and zeros. His diabolical scheme (which had little to do with science, and a lot to do with his not taking his medication) was that this should turn it into the opposite program, bringing chaos and anarchy. BWA-HA-HA-HAAA!!!
As soon as the programmer finished and hit Enter, the virus attacked the first computer it could find – the one where it was created and stored. Against all reason, the theory worked: the program reversed itself and turned into the opposite program. It became an indestructible self-replicating repair program, and was in every computer in the world overnight. It repaired all the bugs that the computer companies had so carefully placed in each computer to ensure that people would have to get a new one every year. No one ever bought a new computer again. The economy, which was dependent on people buying new computers every year, collapsed, bringing chaos and anarchy. BWA-HA-HA-HAAA!!!
