Do we really need lifeboats when there's a huge urban neighborhood just outside the door?

You mean the landlubbers?

Oooh arrrrr!

Is it September 19 again already?

Nope. Just practicing

Practice makes perfect.

Unless you're a geezer who hopes to win a marathon.

... and now back to your scheduled programme

Noodles!

Pasta fazool!

Good point. I was thinking this parmesan cheese tastes a bit off.

What we don't want is another eruption like Thera (B.C. about 1600).
That woukld set civilization back about a thousand years.

More importantly, all the religion and Dawkins threads would vanish and what would we talk about then?!

Then again, there is the saying
for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
(gospel of Matthew chapter 24 verse 44)
