| SILICON VALLEY - Bill Gates has not only answered critics to MS Outlook 2000 with his new updated version of Outlook, he has also answered some age-old questions – such as those scripted by Zager and Evans in 1969 (later popularised by Gene Pitney). Spinner’s editor was shown an exclusive preview into his own MS Outlook 2003 day-planner to find out what was in store for him in the year 2525 and beyond: In the year 2525 man will still indeed be alive... in fact you have a meeting with Merchandise Development on February 2 at 10:30am and lunch with initials B.N. (a whistleblower) at 1pm. Woman will survive also. It’s your 518th anniversary and you have reservations at Cin Cins. In the year 3535 ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies. Ev'rything you think do and say is in the pill you took today. At 7:15am to be precise. An alert has been set to ensure you won’t forget – yet another handy feature of MS Outlook 2003. In the year 4545 you ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes. You won't find a thing to chew, nobody's gonna look at you. Nothing could be further from the truth, as you have a dentist appointment on November 16, 4545, at 3pm and an optometrist appointment on March 18 at 2:30pm. In the year 5555, your arms hangin' limp at your sides, your legs got nothin' to do, some machine's doin' that for you. That’s if you ignore your gym time! It’s scheduled for every Monday (kickboxing), Wednesday (spinning) and Saturday (body pump) at 7am, 7pm and 11:30am respectively. In the year 6565 you won't need no husband, won't need no wife, you'll pick your son, pick your daughter too, from the bottom of a long glass tube. And your appointment with Doctor Steinenfrank at the Nu Family Clinic is on Thursday April 23 at 3:30pm. In the year 7510, God is indeed acomin' and will deliver a speech entitled "Guess it's time for the Judgement Day" on November 11 at precisely 11:11am. You’re scheduled to be on your knees with rosary beads in one hand and a Koran in the other. In the year 8510 God is scheduled to shake his mighty head and tear it down and start again. Your car is booked in for a WOF and your registration is due. In the year 9595 you will hunker in your cubicle on October 18 at 11am and cry a billion tears. Then you have a luncheon engagement with an old buddy from high school at Angus Steakhouse at 1pm. |
