Imminent unplanned satellite re-entry
By Andrew Pollack on 02/17/2008 at 12:30 PM ESTHave no fear, FEMA is here. Our government is protecting us from the imminent unplanned satellite re-entry. Here you'll find the documents forwarded through our incident management chain of command. For those of you reading this story from outside the U.S., you can likely follow the same procedures.
Guys, I've seen this in the movies a dozen times and I know just what happens. You may wish to acquire this critical information to supplement your skills if the worst happens.

How come those memos don't make me feel any safer? :)

The more you learn about what travels the roads and rails every day and the
nature of precautions you have to take if something goes wrong, the more
terrified you'd be.
It is SO hard for me to pass through airport security without laughing these
days...

I grew up living next to a Lehigh Valley double-track mainline (they took the
line out in 1976). We'd have all sorts of strange derailments... one year it
was Miller High Life, which is definitely hazmat. Another time it was a boxcar
full of Duncan Hines cake mixes, so we had cake and muffins for about two years
afterward.

Andrew, between this posting and the one about analog TV going away, I think
you are demonstrating an unhealthy interest in zombies. I can assure that the
who zombie thing is nothing more than . . . Unnnhhh . . . Arrrggh . . .

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......

I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything. Not just killing people and breaking things, but ......

This is not quite a scam because it's technically legal, but it's run very much like a scam. This company works with a few "clients" that have vast repositories of copyrighted images. The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
