IMHO this is a much better Idol for computer nerds :-

Needless to say I would never propagate an e-mail meme unless it had
the word "meme" in the graphic.
BTW if ten people read this message it means I'll have "good luck"
in four days, but if 20 read it I'll have it in two days. By my
calculation, if 960 people read it, I'll have "good luck" in an
hour. Lucky me.
