3. Must be.
Clearly, we are all living in a time warp and my lonely computer is the only one with any sense of what's really going on.

Nathan Milstein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Nathan Milstein (born December 31, 1903, Odessa; died December 21, 1992, London) was a Russian born violinist who took United States citizenship in 1942 after spending much of his life there.

Milstein is considered one of the 20th century's leading violinists and was especially well known for his interpretations of Bach sonatas and Romantic works. He was awarded the Legion of Honour by France in 1968.

8. Your computer is dumb.
And very specific in its stupidity...9:43? Is it trying to send you some hidden message? Did anything of moment happen at 9:43am on 12/31/1903? And in what time zone is it 9:43?

Dammit, this brings up more questions than it answers! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE??? <running around holding hair at sides of head, screaming>
