Thread: End of the world is a-comin'

There was a cult in the Netherlands a couple of years ago (2000 or 2001) called the efraim brotherhood or something such. They were absolutely convinced that the earth would end at a certain date and hour, and they got rid of their earthly posessions so as to enter the paradise pure (or something like that).

Some of them literally gave away their house on the day it was supposed to happen. A couple of news channels even went so far as to have a camera crew go to the place where the brotherhood was convened to wait for the end of times. They did it to get the reactions of the people afterward, not in expectation of the end of course (I'd have sex and then open my best bottle of malt whisky).

I didn't see how the story ended, but a psychologist said that the mental backlash would be enormous once the people realized that it wasn't happening (so they'd know they made fools of themselves) and that they had just lost everything they had in a legally very binding way. He said that those people would need counseling to cope afterward. And while it wasn't said per se, in between the lines was the message that they should be watched carefully in the event that a number of them would go postal.

Sorry but it cant happen. My saddleback warranty still has 95 years to go, and I have enough Crox to last another 70 after that!

Ain't gonna happen. They're bringing out the NunChucks.

No kidding. Good thing me and the fiance pushed the wedding back to mid July. The world ending in may will save me thousands!

Guess this solves the deficit and social security issues eh?

I just hope I get to try my new custom razor first

I need no special occasions to follow those pursuits. The world is going to end eventually, individually or en masse being the only distinction. One way or the other, eat drink and be merry .... you know the rest.

Yes... Eat, Drink, Be merry.... but shave first! you don't wanna shave drunk!!

and just so no one cuts themselves trying to get in as many shaves as possible before May.... Jesus says in the Bible in the book of Mark, Chapter 13 verse 32, "But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don't know when the time is".... and on that note I would recommend VeeDubb and Sailor, that you continue to plan the wedding and buy gifts for your wife. Better yet buy even more gifts for her as you are never guaranteed that you will be around to give her one later.
