(Just in case... ;))

Ladies (you know who you are, Lady V) and Gentlemen...

It has truly been a pleasure and an honour to have known you all...

May (Mayan) God (s) preserve us one and all... even the politicians... ;D

Hmm... maybe I could prepare a Viking funeral pyre with them... go out in style... ;D

I notice that Uwe's on your side of the water, hoping to take advantage of the extra five hours EST from GMT we are presently at...

With Central America approx six hours behind us here, does that mean it's not going to end until the 22nd...? It's all very confusing...

Oh well, lets enter into the spirit of things...

How cheated would you feel if you had just won 100 million dollars in the lottery and then the world ends the next day :sad: ;D.

"It's the end of the world as we know it..." How could the Mayans have predicted R.E.M.?  :)

If we're gonna go, we should go with theme music!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=a-zE-CBj7bI

Skip to 1:06 if you just want the music and not the design and setup commentary - more than 40,000 LED lights in this!  And he has a short range FM transmitter set up so viewers can enjoy the music as well.

(I'll catch up with you folks this weekend - gotta make a 1400 mile round trip mile drive and move a daughter out of Oklahoma.)

If the Mayans could see the future, you would think they would have predicted the end of their own civilization.

Ya gotta figure that a culture where human sacrifice is popular can only last so long ;D. I could imagine when it got down to the last two people the conversation that might have happened ???.  I guess they were lucky the Spanish were there to help them out ;)

I guess Aussie Mark is ok.  It is already nearly noon in Sidney.  Unless the end of the world will be at midnight Central Daylight Time!   8)

If history proves correct, the world will perish tomorrow.  Ohio will only find out 10 years from now.

Biggest disappointment since the Y2K bug if you ask me.

I worked with Jehova's Witnesses in the late seventies/early eighties - Stihl chainsaws. Stihl hired them preferred because they were non-union members - who needs higher wages when the world will end so soon? Nice, gentle people, except that their argument how we had no more dinosaurs today is a consequence of them being too big to fit on the Ark - what about aquatic dinosaurs then? - seemed to be missing something. Anyway, when their doomsday expired they pretended to be unperturbed, but you could tell they didn't like it, the Lord was testing their faith or maybe calendars didn't fit on Noah's Ark either.

One of my famous good deeds in corrupting others was when we went to a waste paper station to get rid of a whole bunch of misprinted and/or outdated Stihl catalogs. When we arrived what looked like a ton of Hustler, Penthouse, Playboy and that fine magazine called Tits'n'Ass had been delivered there just before us - international magazines (these were US editions) are dumped once they expire, too costly to send them back to the US. They were still in their original, errrm, fluid-proof packaging. Being the nice guy I always aspire to be, I took a stack of each into our van - theft in theory (and practice), true, but for a good cause as you are about to find out. Upon my return the youngest of "the Witnesses" (as the non-Witnesses called them) asked me coyly whether he could have - he took the mildest medicine, mind you - a Playboy to drape his car with (a Simca Matra - not very Jehova's Witness'ish either for its sleek sporty looks) so everyone could see it. I obliged as I tend to do when good things are required off me. Long story short: He withstood the vitriolic comments of his brothers in faith that ensued, the "talks" and brainwashing, started dating a girl not of their community (whether she was a former centerfold named Kimberly and liked animals and men with humor I have no evidence for) and, look and behold, fell away from (that faith, they were relieved to let him go), married her and got a new better-paid job. Hugh Hefner (with only a little help from yours truly) won against  stern ole Jehova who let the dinosaurs drown (even the ones that could swim)! But then, for all its qualities and vintage vibe, The Watchtower cannot really compete with Playboy, can it?
