Hey, another preacher is predicting the day that his career will end. Not the day that the world will end? Well, he said it was the one thing, but it'll probably be the other.
I have it on good authority that God whispers and the devil yells in multitude; people also claim that I am a goober, I guess that is better than a cashew.
Let’s test to see if he really believes what he says. Pin down a specific date then ask him to sign an legal agreement handing over all his possessions and bank account over to you midnight (Auckland time, +12 UTC) so he doesn’t go on a self-destructive rampage and burns down his house when he realizes he’s wrong.
The Aukland Time thing is what interests me. Whenever I hear predictions about the end of the world, I ask what time zone and which side of the international date line. The kinds of people that like to discuss the end of the world always seem to think it’s going to happen according to the time zone they live in… forgetting that Australia and such places get that time and date a day early.

God’s an odd duck. Only talks to crazy people. Hates amputees. Stuff like that.

The world ending is like doing bald, nothing I can do about it. I worry more about magazine subscriptions and book orders.:-)

People say every year that the world is going to end.
And every year they are wrong.

I wish. More likely, the preacher will just say he’s received another revelation, change the date for doomsday, and pass the hat.

Would that it were so.
