YM "Good Times Virus" HTH.  This is the urban legend that never ends...

On a similar if more amusing note, on Feb. 28th of this year, we [I work
at Panix] got a call from someone who asked if the system was going to
be up the next day, since he'd heard that the Internet was going down
for housecleaning.

The demons of temptation reared their pointy heads, but we managed to beat
'em down, albeit with difficulty.
