I'm sure that was super scary in Jesus times, but when our military blows that dragon to shit, the world is gonna be awesome.

Like the Zombie Apocalypse tongue in cheek speculation, disaster preparedness is something a lot of us take for granted, but whether it's because a natural disaster occurs, massive social unrest, or a (at least briefly) survivable supernatural disaster (look, I don't care what book it's in, if the beast with six mouths sings the song that ends the world, it's not a 'natural' disaster), having some non-perishable food, water, a first aid kit and other supplies on hand could be a real boon.
Doing so in the coming weeks and months might be worthwhile, if just to beat what one assumes may be a rush on those same supplies/materials in the next year or so. Intelligently, of course.
A couple extra bottles of water and a box of power bars isn't going to break my bank and if something did go wrong on a serious scale it could be the difference between making it until help arrives or not.
I now want to see this movie/read this book. Please get to it!
If I get a computer in my left retina, sign me up!
You would think so, but then you get THIS
I wanted to like Reign of Fire so very much, but I just couldn't do it.
So much wasted potential there.
Personally, I'd say that the war against dragons happening on screen would've been a dozen times more interesting than the shit we got.

on topic: my beef with the Rapture isn't that it is or isn't likely to happen. It's that even if it does happen, we still have to put up with Kirk fucking Cameron afterwards.
Atheist: "Shit, it's a Jesus dragon! We need someone to fly the F-22! Where the fuck is the Air Force?"
Agnostic: "Raptured."
Atheist: "All of them? No fucking way! What about the closet homosexuals?"
Agnostic: "Yup, them too.The evangelism is kind of pervasive."
Atheist: "Well we're screwed. Who the hell is going to fly the planes?"
Agnostic:"...I was pretty good at MS Flight Simulator 98, I guess."

Shit is going down in the crab nebula, which doomsayers sometimes love to refer to.
Hey, it worked in Battlefield: Earth.
Wow. Absolute insanity.
That's terrifying.
I wonder why they're always wrong?
And wouldn't it look silly if they didn't believe Jesus was coming back during the very generation that the world actually does end?
Fact: The Mayans invented the zero.
Fact: As the Mayan calendar approaches it's rollover in 2012, end-of-the-world fantasies will accelerate.
Fact: Refutation of these mad theories will require more and more zeros to give perspective to the probability of these claims.
Conclusion: We are fast approaching a Peak Zero Crisis, and the Mayans knew it; which is why their calendar will have to reset.
How are you preparing for the day the zeros run out?
Me? I'm hoarding nickels and pennies. When the distinction between $.01 currency and $100 bills becomes null and void; I'll be sitting pretty.
No atheists in the executive leather chairs.

Oh noes are you saying our drives will only be able to write 1's after the Zerocalypse?
I better stockpile my 0's now!
oh fuck, my username...
You'll become finite
YOU GOOSEHOLE!
I mean, what, nothing, keep going on about your day.
No need to look anywhere else in this post.
Oh, thank god, for a while there I was terrified we'd have to put up with another season of Jersey Shore.
"No John, you are the Nibiru."
And then John was Planet X.

But the thing that struck me about it is just how little effect that Rapture seemed to have on most people. Like, all the kids in the world disappear and their parents aren't freaking out and storming the Capitol demanding answers from the government?
Everyone seemed pretty calm in the face of an event of Biblical proportions. And there's a really weird plotline about the anti-Christ conning the President into giving him Air Force One for some inexplicable reason. That storyline went on and on for pages. I'm pretty sure the President can't give away Air Force One, anyway.
Rigorous Scholarship
Seems like a design flaw that should have been rectified by now. Oh well
It'll be fixed in a patch some day.
Though the guys in accounting are saying that if we wait long enough and have periods of riling up the populace, we can milk it for $Texas merely by saying that it's a feature not a bug.
I think thats one of the biggest plot-holes right there. If that happend in the real world, People would lose their collective shit so hard, 9/11 would be a picknic by comparison.
I am saying that one of the promises the anti-Christ would make would be "I can get your kids back" and people would sign up in droves.
Of course the bible itself says:
So any christian that claims to know when Judgment day is comming.... He is really claiming to know more then the apostles and too be the equal in knowledge of god....
Oh, you mean perhaps fix it as part of an expansion pack, then market it as a bonus feature?

That, plus mental illness = very entertaining talk radio
So I'm all for it. Buy more billboards, please. It's not like there was any chance whatsoever they would have spent this money on something more worthwhile than keeping print/sign/billboard companies in business anyway.
