Kenny is dead. Kenny is not dead! He was at home watching NASCAR! No, Kenny was run over at NASCAR ... looking for his UD credits. Kenny was a good man. Even looking for those UD credits on the NASCAR racetrack while the race was being run. That is dedication for a noble and just cause. |

If they had given him his UD credits, Kenny would be alive today. |

In 1969 I took an oath to defend and protect the U S Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and Domestic. There was no expiration date.

Rumor is that he was with Kenny at that NASCAR race. His fate is still undetermined as he was surprised by Kenny's determination to find those UD credits.

What, me worry? Yes! I worry I will never get my missing UD credits. Send Alfred E. out to look for them. [Oct 13, 2010 10:55:54 AM] Press Release October 15, 2010 Associated World News Story Dateline - Armonk, New York USA. Late October 13, 2010 The World Community Grid (“WCG”) experienced an outage due to a fatal error with their BOINC filesystem. It has been reported this caused untold anxiety and frustration among the loyal and dedicated volunteers who “crunch” various “work units” on behalf of various humanitarian research projects. This “virtual super computer” was brought down to its knees from late October 13 through late October 14. Years of computational time was lost to various research projects during this sudden and unexpected outage, however dedicated and hard working World Community Grid personnel were able to resume operations during the night of October 14, 2010. Upon investigation, it has been rumored that video and audio surveillance at a WCG secret undisclosed location captured an apparent perpetrator who may be responsbile. A picture of this person has been identified as Mr. Alfred E. Neuman. Mr. Neuman, a perpetual write in candidate for the President of the United States, appears to have been recorded. It has been rumored that audio recordings at the site have him mumbling “I have got to find those lost UD credits! Now...where are they? They must be here somewhere...Ah! I think they are here...OOOHHHH NOOOO...” Whereupon the World Community Grid BOINC file system became corrupted, and “crashing” this virtual super computer. No uploads or downloads of “work units” were possible. Mr. Neuman never found those lost UD credits. Mr. Neuman is now a “person of interest” and anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts should contact the World Community Grid. Indications are that Mr. Neuman has been described as misguided and does not pose any physical threat. If anything, he will tell you “What? Me worry?” |
