Using a credit card so we can ask for a refund if it proves to be false.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Starting at about 5:50. What made me laugh so hard when I saw it was when they showed the vogon telling the people of earth they were doomed and then the scene jumped from city to city letting us hear people screaming. Hard for me to explain, but I couldn't stop myself laughing when I saw that back in 2005.

Hilariously it has six 5 star reviews. What the heck are these people smoking?

Not smoking, drinking. Pan-galactic garble-blasters. It's like having your brains smashed by two gold bricks with a twist of lemon.

In the latter days of The Screensavers around the time that G4 bought out Tech-TV, their cast had been reduced down to the youngest members. One day, wardrobe had given one of them a t-shirt with "42" on the front and asking on the back whether you knew where your towel is. No cast member had idea what that was about, so members of the studio audience had to explain it to them.
Where is this world going when none of the youth bothers to learn the classics.
Share and enjoy!

A Vision? A Dream? A Nightmare?
I posted this over at FA, but I'll copy it here too:
quote:
Jon in Harold Camping and Judgement Day at Friendly Atheist:
Oddly, before all this became such big news, I had a dream in which I was going through the mail. I opened one larger envelope and found a fold-out poster printed with red ink on very thin paper. The picture on the poster was something of the stereotypical Jesus figure and to the left, near his neck, were the words: The Word Returns May 21.
Jon

Love your enemies!

Predicting the end of the world seems to be a booming business, hmm maybe i can find a niche to fit myself into. Mohamed is coming to end the world on Friday the 13 2013. Would that sell ?

Well I guess there is no disputing it then. We'd better start preparing ourselves.

Well if the people that are most "christ-like" are the ones getting raptured then I don't think there will be many empty mansions.
If the most "Christ like"are to be "raptured," how many is that? 2 or 3 maybe? I haven't seen many "Christ like "people.

I saw their billboars while I was in Charlotte... lol @ "the Bible guarantees it"
  • what are they gonna do on May 22nd?
  • How will they save face?
  • Are they giving away all their worldly possessions beforehand?

On another aspect, in Message 123, Buzsaw writes:
quote:
Wake up, sheeple, before it's too late. According to the prophecies, the longer and sounder intelligent mainstream folks like you sleep the sooner it will happen.
What I don't get here is that if it really is a true prophesy, then its going to happen and there's nothing we can do about, so in that sense the warning shouldn't help at all.
On the other hand, since the end times is supposedly gonna be just great for a true christian like Buz, then why aren't they welcoming it and not warning us about it and/or not trying to make changes to prevent it?
That don't make no sense!

The Bible specifically instructs them to warn everyone, on top of the general call to evangelize the entire world. Or so they believe.
