As long as it doesn't reprogram your Dakota's computer...you'll be fine. ;)

I got this from my sister today:

If you receive an email entitled "Badtimes," delete it immediately. Do
not open it. Apparently this one is pretty nasty. It will not only erase
everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks
within 20 feet of your computer. It demagnetizes the stripes on ALL of
your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the
tracking on your VCR and
uses
  subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play.
  It will re-calibrate your refrigerator's coolness settings so all
your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will program your phone
auto dial to call only your mother-in-law's number.
  This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink
all your beer. (For God's sake men are you listening?!?!) It will leave
dirty socks on the coffee table when you are expecting company. It will
replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while
dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their
hotel rendezvous to your Visa card.
  It will cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way
that is only fun until someone loses an eye. It will rewrite your backup
files, changing all your active verbs to passive tense and incorporating
undetectable misspellings which grossly change the interpretations of
key sentences.
  If the "Badtimes" message is opened in a Windows95/98 environment,
it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your
hair
  dryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not
only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, it will
also refill your skim milk with whole milk.
  **WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN.**
