 ''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.'' -- James Nicoll 
I've always liked that song, i just have no idea what the music video was supposed to say. Did they get an art major to direct it?
But back to the original topic... Regarding the earth shattering kaboom. I thought it was only the rapture (aka: all the 'chosen ones' getting pulled up to heaven, while the rest of us are left to deal with Armageddon). So I guess there should be an earth shattering kaboom soon, for vague definitions of 'soon'. Personally I think this will be rationalized away just like they did in 1992, 93, and 94 (all years people predicted the rapture will occur). -Terry ----- "so listen up boy, or pornography starring your mother will be the second worst thing to happen to you today" TF2: Spy

You and I seem to have a different understanding of the term 'Earth-Shattering'.
Oh no. Not again
Maybe... we're supposed to rapture ourselves. God helps those who help themselves right? ________________________________ --m(^0^)m-- Wot, no sig? Dartz Wrote:Oh no.

No, that Mars tends to be looking at the Moon. She'd deny it, of course. No one believes her

I tell people on IRC that Shadowrun's version of things is much more interesting, and therefore we're not due any exciting events until December. '.'

On the slightly more serious side, CBS Radio News reports that Camping is in hiding and his followers are, and I quote, "in a state of disbelief".

Just spotted this over in the EPU forums, about Camping:

Meh. Camping and his followers will just double-down on the crazy. Mocking them serves no purpose. The cognitive disonnance of being in a faith with disproven prophecies is well understood and almost never results in people leaving the faith.

Because I'm pretty sure that purpose is still getting served. '.' -Morgan. Quote:Camping and his followers will just double-down on the crazy.Oh, of course they will. They always do, because to do otherwise is admit they have no Inside Information that makes them superior to the rest of humanity. Quote:Mocking them serves no purpose.As Morgan points out, mocking them serves the purpose of amusing ourselves, and making us feel superior to those who feel superior to the rest of humanity. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
Heard on the radio today:
"Harold Camping's prediction that the Rapture would take place last weekend failed to come true. There, there - it's not the end of the world." -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.

So, he's said he got the math wrong. It's in October. Did he forget to carry the one?
