The Skinny...


I am NOT giving up! This destructive myth has gone too long.

 

The above embed is from the SETI institute: From the people listening for "little green men." If an invasion were forthcoming; if a rogue planet were bearing down on us (it would be visible by now), they'd be killing themselves to get to a microphone: it'd be the last Nobel Prize awarded for the most trans-formative news ever! If THESE guys are saying it's bunk; it's bunk!


Wikipedia says this is an incomplete list. Good Lord, it's 22 pages long! The sad part is, it's that long because after tomorrow, there are even MORE predictions. PT Barnum never said "there's a sucker born every minute" (his competitor did), but you get the idea.

Dude; madam: chill. Please do just: chill. Get a massage. Switch to herbal and decaf. WOO-SAH!

I do lean towards this one at the very bottom of the Wikipedia list: in 10100 years, we either won't be around, or evolved to enter another dimension. Either way, blogging will be moot, and you and I won't be here to witness whatever at that future time is the current form of electronic entertainment and information exchange 100 zero years hence.

That's as much soothsaying as I want to do!

Apocalypse has come to mean "disaster," yet the literal translation is "un-covering"; a "disclosure of knowledge"; "revealing." It is from that the last book of the Bible, "Revelation" takes its name.

 

It will be revealing what we'll all feel like tomorrow: I will be blogging, the earth will be spinning, and certain persons in bunkers will have a lot of beans, rice and MREs to contend with...and certain hucksters that have made a HUGE amount of money on this fraud will fall silent as they book their flights to Bahamian shores...until tomorrow, I'll be:
