How about a prediction for June 7
You may have heard that a lot of people all over the world have been praying today, to ward off the dangers of the powers of Evil. Since June 6, 2006 is nearly over, it makes no sense for me to venture a prediction for it. But if I may instead predict something for June 7, 2006, it would be the prayers' reply to the sceptics' observation that the world did not end today: "Ha! That's because we prayed!"
They can't lose, can they? Either the world ends and they're right in their predictions, or the world doesn't end and we have them to thank for it. A typical example of the non-falsifiability of religious belief.
But I can't lose either: if they indeed say the world didn't end because they prayed, my prediction has come true. On the other hand, if they don't say it, my prediction will have been falsified. Just as I would have it.
I'm feeling lucky...

Did you know that most of the time your computer is doing nothing? What if you could make it do something really useful? Like helping scientists understand diseases? Your computer could even be instrumental in finding a cure for HIV/AIDS. Wouldn't that be something?

After all, you are part of it, so why not take part in it?

Well, the bad news is that the world did end. But the good news is that, after he had created the world, God had the sensible idea of making a backup.

Re: Still Here?
Jesus saves
Yes, well, but Jesus is of the younger generation. You'd expect him to be savvy.
But God is an old geezer, so it's a bit surprising to see him being so modern. My father can't tell a computer apart from a typewriter.

I'm afraid you lost me there, Trix
I think she's talking about soccer. Jesus is the goalie.
