From 'Joy': Comments on Post-Y2K Machinery Rapture

OMG, happened to me in Jersey last week. My plane was repo'ed mid-flight
by the machinery rapture that keeps the damn model in the 20th century
-- a Y2K thing -- how it got this far outta the 20th c., I don't know ...

RE: Does the machinery rapture affect toaster ovens?
'Cause that would really suck, especially if I was
right in the middle of makin' cheesy toast.

Well, yes, it could happen. But the thing to do is put your plate
under the toaster-oven, that way, the toast drops onto the plate
when the toaster vanishes. Is it a pre-year-2000 toaster-oven?

Newer toaster-ovens aren't entirely free from the machinery-
rapture phenomenon, but things are a little more stable in this
century, which isn't as prone to superstitious winds ...

Have to be careful in cases of toast-rapture.

I think back to the days of alchemy. They were much better.
