The Dow changed by 6.66 points today 🙂 I guess the rapture came and deemed none of us as worthy and life goes on as usual 🙂 ---

Well, it’s almost 11:05. I was a little late leaving for school, but when I got there, the quads were packed full of students and all my classes seemed pretty full. Either the Rapture didn’t happen, or college students are as bad as they should be. I’m very proud of them. ---

Hey, Tanookie – you live in Haverhell? Could be worse; could be Flawrence. Or Blowell. Maybe that’s why the Rapture passed you by? I know I musta missed it coz I’m with Satan here in Ipswitch. ---

Shit. You spend a couple days away from the boards, and the news you miss out on… BTW, there’s a bearded fellow in a robe standing at my front door, blathering on about “Rapture Insurance.” Should I offer him some of those deep fried locusts? ---

Ok so you guys want the real answer? Check this out. Without all the religous mumbo jumbo, it gives you some of the answers about planet X. Apparently it is on an eventual collision course with earth. check out this link, its some pretty cool stuff without the end of the world. The weird thing is that these basically neanderthal people already knew the structure of the solar system, complete with earth and all other planets rotating around the sun. How long did it take the rest of us to catch on to this? [http://www.nii.net/~obie/dropa.htm](http://www.nii.net/~obie/dropa.htm) ---

Dear DoomsDayCo, Your Doomsday was defective. On Wednesday, August 27, the UPS truck delivered the package. When I opened the box, the Rapture was all bent. I asked for 7 plagues, but only 1 worked. All I got was one stinking locust and he was drunk. Please send me an RMA as soon as possible. Now all my friends think I’m a freak. Thanks a lot. One pissed customer, Slortar ---
