Y2K-Year 2000 when many people thought the end of the world and all manner of other disasters would befall mankind.

Many of the emergency services made an absolute fortune on 'standby payments'

I really liked collegehumor.com's joke.

instead of loading their homepage it goes to a rather official looking government site for the Department of Defense.

"Attention: Your IP address has been logged in relation to an ongoing investigation.

The site and all of its visitors are being sought in relation to an investigation regarding various posts and publications of an illegal nature.

thank you"


LOL it was something like that

after about 10 seconds it goes to their home page "APRIL FOOL!!"
