World Ends on Thursday

Date: Mon 22 May 2006

At least, it does if you believe this guy.

I'm interested in seeing what that page will say this Friday. For comparison, here's what the first section of it says now:

Alert

"I have received information psychically, which is corroborated by scientific data, according to which on May 25, 2006 a giant tsunami will occur in the Atlantic Ocean, brought about by the impact of a comet fragment which will provoke the eruption of under-sea volcanoes. Waves up to 200 m high will reach coastlines located above and below the Tropic of Cancer. However, all of the countries bordering the Atlantic will be affected to greater or lesser destructive and deadly levels. This site is dedicated to life, to civic responsibility and to information. There is still time to save lives. Thanks for participating in the world-wide alert!" -- Eric Julien

I find the statement, "This site is dedicated to life, to civic responsibility and to information," (emphasis added) particularly ironic. Scaring uneducated people with "information" obtained "psychically" about monster tsunamis isn't my idea of civic responsibility.

Some real facts on Comet Schwassmann-Wachmann can be found at this post at the Bad Astronomy Blog.

The only friend I have in person is Binky. Other than that, I just have a bunch of pen pals. I can't wait to move.

Way Too Fat

Date: Wed 3 May 2006
Time: 9:10 PM EDT

I have been eating too much cookie dough. I don't have a scale so I don't know how much I weight, but this morning when I went to the bathroom there was a hippopotamus in the mirror (no, I'm not going to post a picture...I'm sure nobody who reads this wants to see my fat naked belly).

I got Binky to lose all his extra weight in just a few weeks by putting him on a strict diet of just 1/4 cup of dry cat food a day (1/8 cup in the morning and evening). It's so easy to control somebody else's food intake. It will probably be easier for me once I move to Lenoir. Mostly I eat because I'm bored.
