How’s Lenny Bruce taking all this? And it can’t be the end of the world yet. The Detroit Tigers are still playing below .500 and the Lions still stink. Everything seems right with the cosmos from a sports point of view. ---

> [@Finagle](#): > > You haven’t looked very hard, have you? Damn, you’re right, I haven’t. There is plenty of stupidity in Africa, the Middle-East, and lots of other parts of the world to go around. I guess I’m more worried about the _decline_ in intelligence and plain old common-sense I seem to be perceiving. Of course there are plenty of intelligent people in the States. Not for nothing are the worlds best universities and most of the Nobel prize winners from there. Yet I can’t help but have the feeling that Joe Blow from Mainstreet, U.S.A. is getting stupider by the minute. But that’s a subject for a completely different thread, so let’s go on with the apocalypse, shall we. [This](http://impact.arc.nasa.gov/news_detail.cfm?ID=165) has me more worried than any of the other signs of impending doom. ---

> [@](#): > > …And people are just now fighting over holy lands This is my favorite part. Like he woke up one morning and realized, my god! People have _just now begun fighting over holy lands!_ This is a new sign that has never happened before! And also, the very first earthquakes and hurricanes and natural disasters have begun! Yes, yes, it’s all here! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/you-might-say-im-crazy-but-yo-it-is-the-end-of-the-world/329099.md?page=1)
