I think we may all be in trouble. I recieved this e-mail this morning:
Dear taxpayer,
In an effort to control expenses, and reduce the amount of light polution, and in view of the current budget crisis, we have decided to turn off the light at the end of the tunnel.
Sorry 'bout that.
The US Government.
I only know what I know, and I don't understand very much of it, either.

That emails a hoax. Verify it on Snopes.com. Apparently it's been circulating for some time now and is actually a cover up ploy for a greater conspiracy.

Conspiracy theory:
I really despise "cons" pirates.......they always raid, and leave only the "pros".
Hey, it's not my fault! when the government gets involved, everyone gets.........
punished!
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!

You didn't think that e-mail I quoted was actually from the government, did you? :jawdrop:

It's not?
Sorry, I guess one of these
would have added a little. It's not actually on Snopes either. The government must have been reading this thread and had it immediately removed. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
The real reason they are turning the light off is because they don't want anybody to see what they've been working on inside the tunnel.

All I know is when this went on before, some guy named Steve was out of work, I ceased to exist and now someone wants to do it again. No thank you
