Dateline Peoria --
Archivists throughout the United States are dropping like flies thanks to an
email virus that was propagated on the Archives and Archivists Listserve.
The worm, delivered with the subject line, "New photos from my party!",
emails itself to every person in an infected users' email log making it look
as if the worm comes from a colleague or friend, experts said.

"This is not a form of terrorism," Tom Ridge, Secretary of Homeland Security
for the United States, assured the populace, "it's more the result of a
human need to see party photos from people you don't know."

Nudge, nudge, say no more!
