Rumor has it that there is a "stupid" virus going around. It is only a text message and not a real virus.

-----------------------------------------
You have just received the "Baka Virus" from Japan
We no have any programming experience with computer system and too lazy to make time. So we make good virus that work on the friendly honorable system. Please be friend and follow these instructions so we can become famous and get on CNN:
Please delete all the files on your hard drive, then manually forward this virus to everyone on your mailing list. Oh wait..maybe send message before deleting all files.
