It’s 9:20 am right now in Israel. It’s raining (first time this fall) and there is a small intifada cooking up. Nothing to make me believe the world is gonna end anytime soon.
Well it was nice knowing everyone up to this, our last day. I don’t suppose he gave the precise time? It’d be nice if I could use my last few hours on Earth skipping out on work.
Please don’t confuse the apocalyptic obsessed with the rest of us. Sure us Jews figure the world will end someday but thats entirely besides the point.
Well, it’s 2345 on potential end of world day here. Unless by ‘apocalypse’ the doomsayer meant ‘everything being exactly the same’, seems he’s wrong. Still, 15 or so minutes to go!
I scrolled through the posts yesterday and did not notice this, because your posts are all in who-knows-what-order, and NOW I lost my chance for eternal salvation.
Thanks a freeking bunch, Boing Boing. What’s the point in your bizarre front page post order if something of THIS magnitude isn’t at least just below the first ad???
