Even though it gets turned on tomorrow, I think it takes about a month for it to get up to full speed.

Damn. I over-slept. Did I miss the end of the world?

::looks around::

Hmm, my lazy ass is on the couch with my cat next to me and a PowerBook in my lap . . . Guess I didn't miss the end of the world.



Will someone post in here the next time we are scheduled for global destruction. I want to be around for that one. Thanks!
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

The HTML source is pretty funny as well:

Code:
if (!(typeof worldHasEnded == "undefined")) { document.write("YUP."); } else { document.write("NOPE."); }
