It's the End of the World as We Know It, I Feel Fine

Oh, Harold. How I adore your asinine predictions. It is, finally, the End of the World today. I'm really excited to see how this shit goes down, but I'm a little irritated that I'll miss by birthday Monday. Bugger.

Let's enjoy this last day, 1990's R.E.M. style.



We Can't Know is still going strong with their Countdown to Backpedaling. Tomorrow will be glorious, and hopefully full of embarrassed excuses and explanations. This is my nerdy, atheist equivalent of a kid being excited for a trip to the candy store.

We Can't Know has an excellent link on their page to The Backpedaling is Here: No, Really, It Happened! from Ask an Atheist. We're making history here, people. Years ago, it was possible for religions and prophets to make ridiculous claims and they were affording the luxury of fading away into obscurity. Not anymore. It is the Information Highway, baby! Their malarky is meticulously documented and will be remembered until the real end of the world. Historical documentation has reached its golden age and skepticism is improving. I can feel George Carlin smiling down on us from heaven.

This is truly beautiful. All of you need to visit Family Radio's Twitter Page. Here are some yummy ones:

OCTOBER 21, 2011 IS THE "END" OF THE WORLD/UNIVERSE! OCTOBER 21, 2011 ALL THINGS SHALL CEASE TO EXIST! OCTOBER 21, 2O11 GOD TAKES VENGEANCE!

Hear Ye!, Hear Ye! -- OCTOBER 21, 2011 IS THE "END" OF THE WORLD!. The day of God's vengeance on sinful human is here!. Pray for your Life!.

OCTOBER 21, 2011 IS THE END OF THE WORLD/UNIVERSE!. GOD SHALL BRING EARTHQUAKE, RAPTURE, & ANNIHILATION FIRE...IN A SINGLE DAY! GOD SAID SO!

*OCTOBER 21, 2011 IS THE "END" OF THE WORLD/UNIVERSE!. GOD DEGREES EARTHQUAKE/RESURRECTION/RAPTURE/ANNIHILATION FIRE,.. ALL IN JUST ONE DAY!

I delight in the use of periods after exclamation points, the letter 'o' in 2011, and the unique spelling of decrees. Unfortunately the Bible does not teach grammar, nor does it offer spellcheck. Also unfortunate is the apparent lack of education from the Twitter poster.

Did it never occur to these people to get their noses out of that antiquated, corrupt book and examine the Universe in reality? For shame, no. And so we will continue to be amused by their ramblings.

I cannot wait to see what they say tomorrow.
