It's The End Of The World As We Know It, And I Feel Valentine

Sad news to report today. It seems that tomorrow, February 14, 2016, will be humanity's last day on planet Earth. That's right everyone, the world's scheduled to end tomorrow.

Sorry, all you happy couples celebrating Valentine's Day, the world's most useless holiday!

The prediction was first made back in 1989. At the beginning of Ghostbusters II, we see that Dr. Peter Venkman has been reduced to hosting the World Of The Psychic TV show.

Venkman interviews a psychic named Elaine, who states, "According to my source, the end of the world will be on February 14, in the year 2016.

Dr. Venkman looks into the camera and says, "Valentine's Day." After a beat he adds, "Bummer."

So there you have it, straight from one of the Ghostbusters himself. If you've not yet bought a gift for your sweetheart, you're off the hook! You needn't bother! And if you're single and were dreading spending yet another miserable Valentine's Day alone, cheer up! You'll never have to do it again!

See you all on the other side!

Missed Us By THAT Much (Again)...

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your feelings toward our sewer of a world), the rogue asteroid is pretty small, around 60 feet wide. Heck, even if it did hit us, one that puny wouldn't even wipe out a medium sized city, much less our whole sorry civilization. Not to mention the fact that there was actually an even closer fly-by back in early 2013.

The really worrisome part of the story is that the asteroid wasn't discovered until August 31st, 2014– a scant seven days before its flyby! Hopefully when the big extinction-level rock is heading toward our globe, we'll have a bit more warning. You know, for panicking, looting and uncontrollably shrieking and such.

Judgement Day Has Been Postponed!

Whoops! Not so fast there, all you people who think humanity dodged the Rapture bullet last week! According to Mr. Camping, the Rapture DID occur, we just couldn't see it.

He originally said the Rapture would occure on May 21, 2011, and that all of us who were left behind would have to endure firestorms, earthquakes and other hellish tribulations for five months until God destroyed the planet in October. Now he's saying God actually did judge us on May 21, but that he's decided to skip the earthquakes and such, giving us five months to get our affairs in order before the end on October 21.

So that means if you were pondering getting new carpeting for the bedroom or signing up for NetFlix, go ahead and do it; you've got five months.

It also means that Mr. Camping is once again ignoring the prophecies of his own bible.

Well THAT Was A Big Fizzle

Well, we're still here. According to Mr. (NOT Reverend, Mr.) Harold Camping, today was supposed to be Judgement Day for planet Earth. The righteous were to be lifted to Heaven as the Rapture began, while the rest of us would endure fires, earthquakes and a general hell on Earth for five months before God finally pulled the plug on the whole sorry mess.

Personally I'm a bit disappointed that it didn't happen. I was looking forward to the time off from work.
