I figure my shoes will still be here, especially if I continue to not tie them.... Of course I may be left here as one of the unchosen, have not had much good contact lately with folks in charge of things like that.. I will check in on Monday and let everyone know... Have made other commitments for Sunday

I've got a 5 gallon bucket of homebrew amber ale burbling in a pail in the garage as we speak. If I see the Four Horsemen come Saturday, maybe I'll just shove my head in the bucket and take a long pull . . .

Bad news guys and gals, I just received the following memo:

To all my children,
I have to apologize for a serious typo one of my associates made to a letter I had sent out. I had stated that Saturday May 21st would be  Judge Mint Day. You know..which is better? Mentos, Tic Tacs, Altoids (my favorite), etc., not Judgement Day, as incorrectly stated.

I sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused anyone.

                                                                    God

I know there are a fair number of people who are taking him seriously.  I've seen several news reports of "followers" who have planned to exhaust all their savings by midnight tonight since they won't need money after that any longer.  Kinda sad, really.

He should be taken seriously, I think we should be concerned!!!

I think that we should be so concerned that we should open up a special institutions for people like this!!!

Sales opportunity!  Rapture tshirts.  You wouldn't need to offer any returns policy.

When I asked my Bride if she wanted do anything special on the eve of destruction.... she said "we should maybe have a nice cake".
I don't think she's too concerned ?

Maybe Randy Savage knows something we don't.
RIP macho man.

I hope the bastard get his nuts ruptured over this deal. Those who believe him should have a full frontal lobe lobotomy if they continue to believe anything this ass clown has to say.

I believe the posted time for the apocalypse is sundown (in your respective time zone) "around" 6 P.M.

I thought it was hilarious when someone called the preacher (Camping) who predicted this and asked if their office was going to be open on Monday and the receptionist said "of course" and most of the workers plan on coming in Monday

Oh and for you believers, Camping will gladly accept your donation even by check which obviously won't arrive by tomorrow night.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

It's past 6pm in OZ & NZ, no reports of wailing and gnashing of teeth, (though you should have heard them during the Ashes series  :)  ).

First, Hex is EBCDIC (extended binary-coded decimal interchange code)

Then the problem is there is no hex 19.  But decimal 19 expressed in hex is 13

When in the base 16 number system, you don't 'roll over' (like 9 to 10) until you have added 1 to 'F' to get 10 (base 16).

Numbering in Hex is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F.  'A' equates to 10 and 'F' equates to 15.  So after adding 1 to 'F' (or 15), you get a 'roll over' to 10 (but in base 16).  

Since 10 (base 16) equals decimal 16, adding 3 more gets 19 (base 16) or as mentioned above, 13 (base 16).  Simple right?  Oh, I've been a mainframe programmer since 1970 on Big Blue.
