So, any plans for the day?
May. 21st, 2011 08:18 amSo, you know, the Rapture thing... Yeah. I've seen a few good posts about it, but it's hard to come up with some fresh take to make it seem funny the third or fourth time it comes around in your life.
I do wonder what's going to become of those poor misled people who actually believed. Some of them actually quit their jobs and spent their savings aiming to be broke today. And past experience suggests when they are proven wrong, most of them will just double down. Hell, the leader predicted the end of the world in 1994, and now he's doing it again. But now he's "sure."
On the bright side, I understand it makes a decent excuse for a party. Anybody going to an End-Of-The-World celebration?

Endeavor Commander Mark Kelly is on NPR as I type. He should have a really good view of it as nothing happens today. He called it a "fragile and beautiful planet that we need to take care of" and I agree. I wish I could see it from space...
