Public Service Non-Sequiter

Twenty years ago, this headline would've landed an editor in the soup line, if not the looney bin:

Botnet Herders Attack MS06-040 Worm Hole

Nowdays, of course, it's... well, it's still bizarre. And it conjures a rather weird mental image, to boot. But it does actually mean something.

Translation: If you insist on installing security patches to XP manually as I do, (because you don't trust Microsoft any further than you can throw Redmond), you should go do so right now.

If none of this made any sense at all to you, don't worry about it. Just go make yourself a nice cup of tea and have a cookie--a pastry that is, not... well, never mind. Just drink your tea.
