It's the end of the world as we know it. Or is it?

I woke up this morning nursing the sort of hangover that only starting to drink at 4pm and finishing at midnight can deliver, and was almost disappointed to find the world still here. I can only assume, somewhere in the back of my twisted mind, I wanted the Christian fundamentalist nutjobs to be right about May 21 2011.

To quote Peter Cook in his end of the world sketch, "Well, not quite the conflagration we were expecting."

Mind you, I haven't been outside yet. Perhaps everyone else has been raptured and it's just me and the cat left.

  1. well, i am still here, too. We must be the bad guys. I wonder if some airplanes crashed because the pilots were raptured. Although the policy is that at least one pilot has to be nonrapturable...

  2. I often wondered about that. But if God is indeed a vengeful deity wouldn't he rapture both pilots out of sheer badness? Or perhaps he could rapture one pilot and rapture just the other pilot's testicles or eyes so he'd be in no fit state to fly ...
