My mom mentioned that her mother was superstisious about birds getting into your house. She believed that if a bird flew into your house and died, someone who lived in the house would soon die. Over the next couple of days, while riding with my mother, we hit two more birds. A couple of days later, my sister and two of her friends were in a car accident. They rolled a car 3 times on a back country road. Luckily everyone survived, my sister was the worst injured with a broken collarbone. The car was totaled. I'm not a superstiious person, but everytime a bird flies closely in front of my car I'm a very cautious driver for a while afterwards! - -RE: This isn't the first time I have had a weird bird experience. Two years ago I was warned by a bird that my dog was going to be hit by a car. I was sitting on in the backyard with my then roommates, drinking some beers and reading, talking and suddenly this bird came out of nowhere and just slammed into my chair. The bird lay still stunned and did not move. I found a little twig and tried lightly poking the bird and he did not respond. He must have lain, not moving, for over a whole minute, which seemed like a long time. Then he suddenly got up and flew off into the sky, disappearing into the heavens. That night my dog Andy got out and was almost instantly hit by a car. I went outside and found him lying on the street and he did not move. He was still alive but barely. I lifted him up and we put him in a car and my roommate drove to the emergency clinic. He died on the way. I have no doubt in my mind that this bird was trying to let me know what was going happen.

It mentions the use of the word "humour" in the subject line. And I am so glad to know that our beloved Mrs. Cameron hasn't become an alcoholic writer of bad haiku-like poetry. (I was worried until Les cleared this up!) --Bob WORM WATCH Evil e-mail tricks PC users 'Klez' disguises self with variety of subjects, senders - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -- Posted: April 25, 2002 1:00 a.m. Eastern By Joe Kovacs ) 2002 WorldNetDaily.com If you're seeing a sudden surge in the amount of e-mail in your inbox, chances are it has little do with your popularity. Delete buttons on personal computers are getting a workout this week thanks to a tricky e-mail worm tunneling across America and the rest of the world. Known as "Klez," the worm has been bombarding mailboxes with unsolicited messages, replicating itself and changing its own appearance by displaying a variety of subjects and senders. "It's a worm that spreads really quickly," said Sharon Ruckman, senior director for anti-virus software maker Symantec's security response team. "And it carries an additional payload that can do some damage." That additional payload is a virus known as "Elkern," which tries to infect other systems by sharing information. When combined with Klez, the two create problems that go beyond large amounts of incoming mail. "It can release confidential information on your system which is never a good thing to have happen," Ruckman told WorldNetDaily. "It also has the ability to remove anti-virus software." Klez is more deceptive than some previous problem e-mails, as it has a wide variety of titles displayed in the subject line, and can latch on to an e-mail address of someone a user knows and insert it in the "From" field, making users more apt to open it and thus get infected. Some of the titles listed in infected mails include: a.. how are you b.. let's be friends c.. darling d.. so cool a flash,enjoy it e.. your password f.. honey g.. some questions h.. please try again i.. welcome to my hometown j.. The Garden of Eden k.. introduction on ADSL l.. meeting notice m.. questionnaire n.. congratulations o.. sos! p.. japanese girl VS playboy q.. look,my beautiful girl friend r.. eager to see you s.. spice girls' vocal concert t.. japanese lass' sexy pictures Klez also uses some combinations of random words in subject lines, to make it even more confusing. The random words include: a.. new b.. funny c.. nice d.. humour e.. excite f.. good g.. powful h.. WinXP i.. IE 6.0 j.. W32.Elkern k.. W32.Klez.E l.. Symantec m.. Mcafee n.. F-Secure o.. Sophos p.. Trendmicro q.. Kaspersky Some messages even appear to be trying to help PC users by offering a patch or removal tool for Klez or Elkern, but are nothing more than the worm itself. "They're trying to get people to open it," Ruckman said regarding the virus writers' clever deception skills. She adds her company does not e-mail people randomly with removal tools. Symantec has ranked Klez at a category 3 medium risk on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most dangerous. "That means it's spreading in the wild more quickly, but it's not as serious as [other viruses like] Melissa or LoveBug," Ruckman said. She also says the Nimda virus which debuted last year is still problematic. According to anti-virus software maker Trend Micro's world virus tracking center, Elkern and Klez are currently the top two ranked viruses. In the past 24 hours, they are estimated to have infected over 400,000 files globally. Several strategies can be employed in preventing computers from being infected. Home PC users should avoid opening the messages and delete e-mails with attachments, especially if something appears strange in the subject or sender's line. "Don't be curious about e-mail," Ruckman said. "Just delete it." Once deleted, users should also empty their trash bins. She also recommends having anti-virus software on your machine, plus the "latest and greatest software patches," which can be downloaded from Microsoft. Corporate e-mail users can have their system administrators attack the problem by filtering out certain attachments and subject lines at the gateway of their mail servers. If a computer has been infected, free removal tools are available from both Symantec and Trend Micro. But despite assurances from anti-virus companies, some organizations like ACT Teleconferencing in Hong Kong are having trouble curing the problem. "Irrespective of what Symantec or other vendors say, there has been no way to stop this worm in the short term," Bob Deverell of ACT told the South China Morning Post this week. "We have been struggling to clean our machines," he said. "We haven't been able to stop it and we're very competent." ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Apr 2002 01:46:25 EDT From: Murphycopy@aol.com Subject: free bonnie raitt - boston (njc) No, she hasn't been jailed again for participating in another demonstration . . . but Bonnie will be appearing *for free* tomorrow at the Hatch Shell in Boston.
