Drat! I missed it. I don’t mean the EOW, but the Prophecy from The Prophet. I don’t see anything on Hawkins’ website alluding to it, so I suspect that he took it down a lot faster than he did when the last EOW deadline came and went. Vlad/Igor ---

We’ve got about half an hour left here. I wasn’t _going_\* to eat a big bowl of vanilla ice cream with raspberries smooshed into it, but I guess I will now. \*Yes I was. ---

You can put your mind to ease. The time here is ahead of most of you (GMT + 7 hours), so the world will end here first, and I can give you some advance warning. ---
