Apparently Judgement Day will be May 21 of this year. There was a truck prowling Pittsburgh's famous Strip District today, displaying said sentiment.

The warm weather is here, and the crazies have come out of hibernation.

gnu, why bother?

WHY AM I PAINTING THE LIVING ROOM?
©1988 L&P Berryman. Words by Peter, Music by Lou.

(Lou:)
Holes in the ozone the size of Brazil
Barges of trash in the chewable breeze
Pools of industrial wasteland pate'
Sulfur dioxide dissolving the trees
Pretty soon it will all end with a boom
Why am I painting the living room?

(Peter:)
I have the whole day off
Cause it's a Saturday
There is a bluegrass band
Somewhere along the bay
Look at the lilacs bloom
Why am I painting the living room?

(Lou:)
A pinhead evangelist pays for his sin
With a five dollar fine for a black collar crime
Kingpins of industry knowingly nod
Just like lake Erie they're 12% slime
They wink at the president too I assume
And here I am painting the living room

(Peter:)
I hear the bluebird sing
Don't let the day go by
Look at the blossoms blow
Over the blue blue sky
All with a wild perfume
And here I am painting the living room

(Both (repeated as per melody):)
Why am I painting the living room?

(Lou:)
Ah yes I can see how my tombstone will read
Here lies someone of exceptional worth
Though she did not do a lot for her kind
Or help hold together this crumbling earth
Here lies a woman they're saying of whom
Sure had a good-looking living room...

Remember the old definition of paranoia? You only have to be right once. Seems strange they picked a Saturday. Monday would have been better. I don't like Mondays.

If I don't pay this month's bills however will I be able to watch Donald trump-et himself? Why, without all those Talking Heads on television my world would end!

Oh, good. I'd been afraid I might miss it if I went "too soon", but I'll probably make it to May 21.

Judgement Day? Sorry, I don't observe religious holidays.

Aren't the Mayans going to be pissed if we don't end in Dec. of 2012?

What is "2012" anyway? Humans have assigned various calendars to the passage of time. Most of them have recorded time "starting" within the last less than 10 thousand years, although we know that humans go back tens of thousands of years, and our predecessors, hundreds of thousands. Earth is oblivious. Time is independent of such silly assignments. So, "2010" is "the end of time?" Eh, whatever.

Reminds me of Comet Kahoutec where the religious diciples cut their balls off in order to catch a ride on the Comet. All that we found were 22 bodies in their bunks, but their soul was someplce else.
