Almost Exciting!

I learned this song from my Great-Grandfather and my Grandfather as I was growing up. I never knew it was actually a song. I thought they made it up.

Monk’s reference to Freakies got me doing a little bit of research on an era, thankfully, before my time: the 1970’s.

I’m wondering what the heck they were putting in Bubblicious back then.

Hard to believe it’s been so long since Melissa.

From Wikipedia:

“First found on March 26, 1999, Melissa shut down Internet mail systems that got clogged with infected e-mails propagating from the worm.

Melissa was first distributed in the Usenet discussion group alt.sex. The virus was inside a file called “List.DOC,” which contained passwords that allow access into 80 pornographic websites. The worm’s original form was sent via e-mail to many people.

Melissa was written by David L. Smith in Aberdeen Township, New Jersey, and named after a lap dancer he encountered in Florida.”

For more information about Melissa, check out the Wikipedia article for some good links.

Were you affected by Melissa?
