World Wide Threat!

Boffins have just announced a new threat to our society. The 2038 bug promises to wreak havoc in the same way that the millenium bug was going to... well...
Anyway, it has something to do with 32bit integers reaching their end on January 19, 2038, which is already being called the "last day of numbers". Planes will fall from the sky, Friends will be optioned for a film, and Paris Hilton will ascend to lead the world through those darkest of days. I, meanwhile, will sit in my fortress of verisimilitude guarded by my unholy penguin army. I bought them on eBay along with a piece of string shaped like John Lennon. Now THAT's an investment!

Could you lend me a couple of your penguin commandos on that day please?

well, it's still a fair way off. i reckon you'd have enough time to build your own army by then. i only bought a prefab army due to my lack of commitment when it comes to completing a long-term project. i hear sloths can be pretty devastating when motivated...
