(CNN) Hackers vandalized the Internet site of the C-SPAN cable network Sunday, replacing its Web page with a bizarre note that included lyrics from a punk rock band. The hackers, calling themselves "United Loan Gunmen," also claimed responsibility for the defacement of the Internet site for ABC just weeks ago. But why bother? http://cnn.com/TECH/computing/9909/05/cspan.hacked.ap/index.html : Have you hacked any websites lately? Has anyone hacked yours? Do you seek vengeance? Does anyone seek vengeance against you? Do you like punk music?? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ @ 888 - WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The New Testament was written in Greek. 'Jesus' is a Greek word. In Greek each letter has a numerical value. In Greek the letters for the word Jesus add up to 888. 888 is the number for the mythi- cal sun in Greek. Jesus and the symbol of the sun are one in the same. It's curious. The Bible says no one could buy or sell without the mark of the beast & his number was 666. Now no one can call long distance without the mark of the Christ and his number is 888. He's baack .! http://www.hiddenmeanings.com/supernova.html#888 : Is (666) the area code of The Beast? Is 665.9856713422355 the mark of the Pentium Beast? Is 999 the mark of the upside-down Beast? Do Beasts use AT&T? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # Computer Experts Say 9/9/99 Problems A Myth. LONDON (Reuters) Stand by for another dud millennium computer bug warning. Thursday, Sept. 9 may be represented as 9999 on many computer software programs. In theory this string of nines might disrupt systems and provide a preview of the millen- nium bug chaos predicted when computer clocks click over into the next century at midnight on December 31, 1999. So bend over, kiss your ass goodbye: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/19990906/tc/yk_nine_2.html : Is 9999 the mark of the COBOL Beast? Will your systems ABEND then? Do you have an escape planned? If not then, when WILL it all come crashing down?? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ @ Pamela's Reptoid. "One of Pamela's new visitors was a Reptilian Humanoid (Reptoid) that stood at least seven feet tall. I remember when my friend TAL told me about his initial experience of seeing a reptoid in his house in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1979. TAL had a map placed on the hallway wall showing sites of UFO landings, underground caverns, & animal mutilations. One night, he saw a seven-tall reptoid staring intently at his map." http://members.aol.com/billh46088/abduct1.htm : Have you ever been visited by Reptilioids? Do they stare at your maps? Do you hide your maps so aliens can't find them? Do they find them anyway? How? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # Nazis Denied Jewish Scientist's Claim. LONDON (Reuters) The true discover- er of aspirin is not the man credited with the achievement, but his Jewish supervisor who was denied recognition by the Nazis, a Scottish scientist said Monday. Dr Walter Sneader's revisionist version of chemical history credits Arthur Eichengrun of the German company Bayer with the discovery of the 100-year-old analgesic, not his subordinate, Felix Hoffmann. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/19990906/sc/health_aspirin_3.html : Why were the Bayer company's three major products a century ago Aspirin, Heroin and Cocaine?
