Here's another equally long-lived piece of humor: "#2. MICROSOFT HAS NO PLANS TO ACQUIRE CATHOLIC CHURCH The latest Internet hoax has Microsoft acquiring the Roman Catholic Church, including exclusive electronic rights to the Bible. The story, written under an Associated Press byline, says the agreement provides for Pope John Paul II becoming the senior vice president of the company's new Religious Software Division, and two Microsoft senior vice presidents being invested in the College of Cardinals. The fake story included a promise from Bill Gates to "make the sacraments available online for the first time." Officials at Microsoft and AP said they didn't know where the story originated.
