It looks like the end of the world is neigh, people. Who cares whether his or her BOINC works or not, when today could be your last day on Earth?

Tick Tock says:

May 21, 2011, according to loyal listeners of Family Radio, a Christian broadcasting network based in Oakland, California, will mark the Day of Rapture and the start of Judgment Day (which, they say, will last five months). Those who are saved will be taken up to heaven, and those who aren’t will endure unspeakable suffering. Dead bodies will be strewn about as earthquakes ravage the Earth, they say. And come October 21, they’ll tell you, the entire world will be kaput.


There must be some truth in it, as the Centers for Disease Control have now on their web site a Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse!

There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for. Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That’s right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now, but when it happens you’ll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you’ll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency.


So prepare.
Or enjoy your last day.
BOINC troubles? Don't worry about it... :-)

I drove thru Dallas that weekend and they had bought advertizing on billboards downtown warning of the doom.


At least I wasnt spammed by them and the ad was safer than the corona beer ad that had a lady on her back drinking beer with leg up in the air. That ad actually caused a couple of deaths, unlike the doomsday one.
