- CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- Inside sources at
- the Jolliet Power and Pollution
- Complex revealed yesterday a plot
- uncovered by HomeTown Security that
- will dim billions of bulbs along the
- banks of Lake Michigan on September
- 16-18, 2005.

- A secret, almost forgotten group
- of Techno-Luddites will be meeting in
- a Chicago suburb on those two days,
- firing up their antiquated
- contraptions and swapping software on
- floppy disks -- the old kind that
- really flop! These ancient computers,
- according to experts, are comparable
- to the one called ENIAC, which was
- blamed for brown-outs in Pittsburgh,
- Pennsylvania, during the Second World
- War.
-
- The gathering is known by the code
- name SWRAP 2005, and the "expo" seems
- to be nefariously moved around
- the Chicago Metro area from year to
- year. This year it will be held in the
- suburb of Lombard, IL, though all the
- details have yet to be finallized.
- Authorities say that there is really
- nothing Chicagoland residents can do
- about it, except to repeatedly save
- any documents on which they are
- working on their PCs and Macs.
