God rest his soul, I remember that sermon like it was yesterday... what's it been? Over a generation ago?
It was in 1977 or so.

To be fair, the Y2K issue was legitimate to a degree. It just so happens that most of the real (important) code was fixed before the Dec 31, 1999. I was heavily involved with it at the time.
You missed some. A lot of my friends' digital watches stopped.

I finally got to listen to it.
I don't ever remember hearing about that before.
Who was Jonathan Urshan's father that told him about that?
When/where was this sermon preached?
When was that supposed to have happened?
Do you believe it?
I strongly suspect the victim was in on it, and it was just an act. If not, yeah, it's about the meanest trick possible.
I got that vibe, too. (Also, the cameras didn't seem like the inconspicuous type.)
But yes--very mean if she wasn't in on it.

I think most of the Urshans were good story tellers! LOL
I just wonder where they came up with all these stories and why didn't they put them in a book or go to the news with them? I mean they are WHOPPERS!
