The media will just go to any side that they can show the worst light on some people. Not very trustworthy at all, in my opinion.

The Year 2000 Problem as described by WXIA-TV, Atlanta, July 10, 1998:

"You open your eyes, slowly waking up. It's Saturday, January 1st, 2000. What time is it? You look at your bedside clock, but it's blank. Is the power off? You check your digital watch. It's blank, too. The coffee maker, which runs on computer microchips just like your wristwatch, doesn't work. The same for the microwave oven and the stove. Your three-year-old computer-controlled car won't start."


Ahh, end of the world stories, what would we do without them?

Worst thing that happened for me, at age 7, was when the fireworks ran out at 2AM that morning, .

Preacher says it's going to end in October now.

I think Matthew needs to rise from his grave and tell him he's wrong at this rate, because this is getting ridiculous.

Guys, guys! It's always gonna happen tomorrow. This way, the prediction will always be accurate until the day it happens! I just keep saying "It will happen tomorrow" until "Hey, yesterday I said tomorrow, which is today! I'm right!" It's foolproof!




...You follow me?
