zap: since the world is going to end, may I get access your racquet stash? =)

Anyone got tickets to the Arc (like in the movie 2012) they want to sell?

What about the galactic zero band? Is anyone doing anything about that?

I am starting to feel uneasy about all the galactic black holes, dark matter, and dark energy these days. I am thinking about getting a kitten to predict space weather for me.

Not at all. I kept breaking things in the last few days.

First, I did some shopping and a bottle of soy sauce broke through the plastic bag and got smashed completely on the road.

Second, I bought another bottle of soy sauce and when I opened the refrigerator door, this bottle of soy sauce broke the compartment and fell on to the kitchen floor and got smashed completely like the first one.

Third, I was tipping some cut ginger that stuck at the bottom of my mug, onto a porcelain bowl, and the mug slipped out of my hand and fell on to the bowl and the porcelain bowl got split in two.

Fourth, I my handycam refused to start when I went birdwatching.

The end of the world is near spooky.

Thanks for sharing – misbehaviour of familiar inanimate objects can be very troubling. I had a similar string of revolting behaviour in the summer of 2008 when beer bottles started exploding inside the fridge without provocation, so I can relate.

In recent weeks I have also seen unusual behaviour, including cats and police. One morning last week there was a commotion in the building, the super knocked on my door and it turned out they were looking for the owner of a kitten. The kitten was sitting on top of the stairwell, looking troubled, distraught, and determined.

In another development, there was always a black cat loitering around the dumpsters in the back of the building. This morning I took out the garbage and there were two black cats. They are consolidating?

The electronics have also been misbehaving, but that could be for a million reasons I suppose.

Thinking about going to Forest Hills for lunch tomorrow to buy a case of Borjomi. Also, does anyone know which side of the Earth is supposed to get hit in case we collide with Planet X?

On Wenesday one of the tennis players in our club slipped on the bathroom floor and hurt his head which was bleeding furiously... then we watched some news on tv later on that evening and one of our pro divers also hit his head and had to be taken to hospital.......

The mayans measured things on a multiversal scale.
Given the length of existance of the multiverse is 10^100000^100000^100000 years old the mayans were only off by .000000000000000000000001%

I suppose I could ask a girl out but I don't think she would want to...

Two days ago, I had three faithful devices start malfunctioning at the same time - a supersonic toothbrush, an ice maker, and a fountain.

She probably wouldn't mind staying in though if you got decent shelter to offer for the 19 - 22 galactic zero band period next week.

The only 5th dimension I wanna hear about is the one that sang "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" And aren't we about 50 years into that now?

Are you afraid of the 5th dimension, is that why you don’t want to hear about it?

Everyone is aware of the first dimension of time. A person walking in a straight line is aware of two dimensions. The one moving around a plane is in three dimensions. In the mountains you have four dimensions.

Why are we afraid of discovering dimension five and potentially beyond? Our mere failure to recognize the fifth dimension does not extinguish its existence.

Maybe North Korea will suddenly attack the South.

I'm still waiting on the Zombie Apocalypse.

I'm fully prepared. My family and my tennis buddy's family are flying down to riviera Maya with our tennis gear and we'll be on the courts.

The deceptive quietude around the globe is most disconcerting. Apparently the trans-galactic shift is deeper than any of us had anticipated.

Through a combination of some fairly complex math stuff and my ability to read and interpret signs, I predict this End of December Phenomenon to occur on or about the 31st of the month. I've begun arranging my schedule to be sure I'm wearing clean underwear that day. Otherwise, it will be mostly buiness as usual.
