Signs of the Apocalypse

We started worrying when, in the space of a month, four hurricanes struck Florida, the Red Sox won the World Series, and a plague of locusts descended on Israel. Now we can add another one to the list: a white Christmas in south Texas.

My sister's been proclaiming global warming all morning.

Now go endorse that holiday check from the relatives over to the ICRC or your own favorite relief agency. Snow is fun and fluffy, but tsunamis are neither.

I've been wondering why, with the seeming proliferation of both natural and man-caused disasters lately, the doomsday folk haven' raised yet another outcry. Didn't Nostradamus say something vague that could be interpreted as an exact prediction of current events?

Nostradamus said that in the end of times the first sign would be that fire fell through the heavens of Yew Nork. Whcih could have been that September 11, 2001 because of the 9-11. The debree from the planes.

Glancing over my site statistics, it would appear that until only recently 1-2% of this blog's visitors consisted of nutters like this one searching for "signs of the apocalypse" on google and landing on this post.

I haven't checked, but on a guess, you'd have to click through an *amazing* number of pages of search results before getting here. Why, I ask? Why?

'ridith: how much ya' want to bet this T.J. fellow had absolutely no clue that you were being sarcastic?

You are the 11th page down if you type "signs of the apocolypse" into Yahoo! and the other pages really aren't what a nutball would be looking for either.

How quite bizarre. Same thing on Google, in fact.

So there you have it, folks: I am one of the signs of the apocalypse. You may now panic.
