Look Out, It's Final Jeopardy!

Unless I get a chance to jot down a few final thoughts in the morning, this may be my last post. According to a chap named Harold Camping, president of a network of Christian radio stations based in California, there will be a worldwide earthquake beginning at 6 PM tomorrow, during which all Believers will ascend to Heaven in what he calls The Rapture. Following that, it's curtains for the sinners left behind, as God will slowly begin to destroy the planet.

Mr. Camping, a former civil engineer who is now 89 years old, originally predicted this scenario back in 1994; he was wrong then, so why should he be right now? For no good reason, but just in case he is, I am picking up my dry cleaning and returning those DVDs that have been on the back seat of my car for a week now, because I am definitely heading uptown, and here's why: Besides being sarcastic to stupid people, I am basically a good person. I don't kill bugs, I give to charity, and from time to time I help total strangers with their groceries in the supermarket parking lot. And yeah, I believe in God--what fool doesn't? (I hope they don't nitpick and ask which God, or I could be in big trouble.)

What are you doing tomorrow?
