Here at NASA, the PKZIP300.EXE hoax resurfaces semiannually or so, with
dire warnings and great fanfare. Hey, someone should post the Craig
Shergold request again! [No, no, just kidding... THAT one is still going

It's the aliens at Roswell. They plant the hoaxes, see how far up the
hoaxes go, and thus determine the intellectual capability of our
leaders. :-)

For a virus to work it must have executable code. (...) (28 years ago, 11-Dec-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
