So that's confirmation, she's filthy rich AND a consultant. Just like the rest of those consultants, milking companies dry, running down the economy, getting all the the really good fiber optic laser beam assemblers... bastards.

What are the odds of this thread evolving into SkyNet? I have children and I am worried about their future.
Should Michael Earl be worried that a terminator will be sent back in time to stop him from making the original post?

I am actually a machine sent back from the future to start the thread. It's too late - the thread is self-aware and it knows who you are.

OK. While I'm in absolute, bowel voiding fear from this...

I have to say, I'm lmao and now my co-workers think I'm even more insane than they already thought I was.

Thanks.
