  [Rest of fake news report deleted]

  This is the third time I've seen this file today. Now considering that
the message is dated 4/1/89, and today it's only 3/30/89, I _really_ doubt
this is serious...

  I for one will be VERY surprised if this turns out to be true.

  (Probably a joke written by some youngster who doesn't have enough of a
sense of humor to make it _really_ funny)
