It doesn't do anything to generate static on its own, and I'm not charged. It's stupid.

Self-proclaimed Prophet Spawns Apocalypse Movement
Save the date: May 21, 2011.
If preacher Harold Camping is right, that's the exact date Jesus will return and the righteous will fly up to heaven, leaving behind only their clothes.
That will be followed by five months of fire, brimstone and plagues, with millions of people dying each day and corpses piling in the streets. Finally, on Oct. 21, the world ends exactly as the Book of Revelation says it will -- with a bottomless pit, a lake of fire and, at last, a new heaven and new earth.
So let's see--I'll need good boots for climbing over piles of corpses, climbing gear for getting out of the bottomless pit, and fireproof clothes.
His followers, in turn, are trusting Camping. Allison Warden, a 29-year-old office manager in Raleigh, N.C., runs a website, WeCanKnow.com, dedicated to spreading news of Camping's predictions. But what if he is wrong?
"It is a fair enough question," she said. "But the fact that it is in Scripture is why you can say it with such a degree of certainty. It's one of those things where you have to trust God."
Okey-dokey then.

Had G over to see the kitties and then went and sat up on their porch to hear her dad's crazy hospital stay stories.
What part of "No one knows the day nor hour" do these people not get? Even if you buy into whatever version of end-times theology they're selling, Scripture is pretty daggone clear about this bit. There's a whole parable, about being prepared, not losing focus. What, that bit you don't have to trust God about? Sheesh.
What, that bit you don't have to trust God about? Sheesh.
So many bits.... so many reasons to say "sheesh"....
Saw a guy in the supermarket wearing this shirt. I wanted to give him a secret geek high five. Instead I just grinned like a dork and got weird looks from the checkout guy.
We really need a secret geek high five. We could transmit instructions on how to do it over this internet thing that only geeks can access...oh, no wait.
Also, I love that shirt.
I'm pretty sure I did just short of a literal highfive with the guy at the pool with a Hubble tattoo. Who was there again tonight. He has a tiger on the other shoulder. Just interesting choice of tattoos.
I guess I could have gone up to him and said "Who was your first?" But the last time I struck up geeky T-shirt conversation with a guy I was sorely disappointed.
