Now tagless for your comfort.

How do people that stupid actually figure out how to connect to the internet?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How do people that stupid actually figure out how to connect to the internet?

I blame AOL.

"It's like...Africa hot." Just a minor Biloxi Blues moment.

You have no idea how pissed I was a couple of weeks ago when I was emailing with a friend in Senegal, and it was 85 there and 100 here! I called bullshit.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember those dudes who keep predicting that NYC will get nuked?

That pi = 3 thing has been around for a while, in deranged whacko circles. Ten or 15 years ago I interviewed a guy for an article and he pressed upon me his self-published book that "proved" pi = 3.

Whoa, the hive mind is getting a little scary 'round these parts (what with the plethora of x-postings). I think Sean may have set his mind-reading device to blow instead of suck.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yes. The 28th came and went and if there was a nuclear explostion at my office it was very very small and I MISSED it. Have they given us an update?

OK:

>We correctly predicted that the UN would lose its headship in 2006Tammuz (this being the 2nd head of the image of the Beast of Revelation 13) which gets a death stroke but then recovers. It lost its head on 2006July12 when Israel invaded Lebanon without a UN mandate. The UN lost credibility and lost control for a month. It lost headship over Israel for one month. But the image of the Beast does not lose two heads, it only loses one head. Each of the 7 heads of the image of the UN Beast stands for one month of military headship over the governments of the world, just as the 7 heads of the UN Beast itself each stand for one year of military headship over the governments of the world. So we knew it had to regain headship this month and it did by virtue of the multilaterally agreed UN Security Council ceasefire resolution of Friday 2006August11. Now the UN will declare Peace and Security and then sudden destruction will befall them according to 1 Thessalonians 5:3. So please leave NYC for the sabbath!!!

OK, on to their predictions of NYC nukeage:

On April 29th we started predicting dates for a terrorist Nuclear Bomb at the UN in midtown. After making several mistakes we realised that 1 Kings 18:43 declared we would get it right at the 8th attempt (Since Elijah asked his attendant to go and look for a man made mushroom cloud 7 times after the first no show, making 8 attempts in all). The trouble is that we have found it hard to decide just what a valid attempt is. Here are all the incorrect dates we have so far proposed...

So the reason they've been wrong so many times is that the Bible predicted they'd be wrong. Neat. Also:

So one could say you have had 9 attempts, you screwed up each time, give up and try doing something less dramatic! But although our repeated failures would at first sight take more and more credibility away from our work, the world security situation is for a fact moving in a direction that lends more and more credibility to our work. We started behaving as prophets of Doom for the UN and for Manhattan on April 29th 2006, when we proposed 2006Iyyar11 (June 8/9) as the date of the first nuclear terrorist attack. At that time the following global security situation existed...
