Day 18 - Your Daily End of the World, Ho-Hum Holy Grails, Walking at "War Practice"

Mr. Brown

ok so we are all still here

i did not have any kool aid this weekend

8:31 AM Mr. Silver

(claps AA style) good job!

(stands, raises hand) I am an Aid-a-holic

my last kool-aid was 6 months ago

8:36 AM Mr. Silver

But in reference to the end of the world, I'll add something I saved til after 6 for a friend of mine.

In reality, the number of chosen ones for the so-called Rapture (144,000) is actually well less than the number of people that die every day, and we wouldn't have noticed if it happened anyway.

In addition, the average number of worldwide earthquakes every day averages about 50, so again...it's not much of a sign unless you are in one.

So, honestly, maybe The Rapture takes place every single day.

8:42 AM Mr. Brown

The Rapture could have been taking place for a long time.

8:43 AM Mr. Blue

but people don't just disappear

dying =/= rapturing

8:46 AM Mr. Silver
I was making the "we'd never notice" point
"Tom was a no-show at work today." 
"Hm...good day otherwise?"

8:47 AM Mr. Blue

and of those 50 earthquakes, how many are actually felt?

8:48 AM Mr. Silver
Guy said worldwide earthquakes...guess what...there’s always worldwide earthquakes
Like saying the sun will rise in the east on the day of judgment

8:51 AM Mr. Blue

he also said 200,000,000 people would be Raptured

he should have thought it through better

"on March 21st 200,000,000 Christians will be Raptured and replaced by drones that are designed to proclaim that The Rapture did not actually happen as a test of faith to those left behind."

8:54 AM Mr. Silver
Perfect!
perhaps with a recommendation to kill anyone you suspect

12:17 PM Mr. Blue

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimate_of_the_Situation

12:34 PM Mr. Silver
The Estimate is the holy grail of ufology?
Honestly, I can put up better grails than that report
An actual UFO, for instance
live alien...dead alien
verified non-earth tech
working or not

12:40 PM Mr. Blue

i guess the grail is to Christianity as the Estimate is to ufology

1:28 PM Mr. Blue

new skyscraper just announced for Pittsburgh

40 stories, you heard it here first

(unless you heard it somewhere else first, but my friend just texted me from the invite-only press release)

1:28 PM Mr. Silver
who and for what?

1:29 PM Mr. Blue

PNC

they bought up a block along Wood and Forbes/5th...secretively…and just announced plans for a 'signature tower' that will house 3000 of their employees

1:34 PM Mr. Silver
"Interesting...um...design." 
"Yeah!  Like it?" 
"It...uh...looks like a thingy." 
"Mm hm...that's why we had to get this all arranged in secret." 

1:37 PM Mr. Blue

lol

1:45 PM Mr. Silver
if they could make it that color, and light emitting, they'd be world famous for it

1:45 PM Mr. Blue

heheh

http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/pnc/42893/images/42893-hi-tower_campusview.jpg  better view

looks extremely transparent

1:47 PM Mr. Silver
Same request as previous, and yes, I'd like the rest of the city painted in flat white



     ("War Practice" is an extended weekend gathering of the SCA: medieval re-creationists.  Mr. Silver)

Mr. Gray

...and let me tell you, after all that walking this weekend, walking to work this morning hurt LOL

8:39 AM Mr. Silver
Cooper's Lake Foot
They used to use it as a torture method during The Inquisition.
"Won't confess, eh?  Cardinal Fang...Make him walk the campground."
"NO!  Not the CAMPGROUND!"



2:59 PM Mr. Silver
(after 10 minutes with halfwit)  
"Just a minute, I need to get something to help me read it (the Start button)"
"Someone literate would be nice.  See if you have one of those."
