The joke loses much of its subtlety by this. The patch below restores Karl Fogel's original version, adding a note about when it first appeared. The original is also hilarious for its implicit assumptions about the Emacs 22 release date. ;-) (Besides, the weekdays in 2199 are wrong. 23 Feb 2199 will be a Saturday, and 20 Feb 2199 a Wednesday.)
