h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Oh, sorry paul, I was replying to Shaggy.

We musta simposted.

So when are you off to London?

~jwf~

Just another one for the list

For me, I suppose it all depends on the weather. Will it be sunny on Armageddon?

Oo, here's an even better list -- http://www.abhota.info/end1.htm

Very good Paulh: When the blind go to war, they *don't* say "Fire when you see the whites of their eyes."

A very timely release?

"So when are you off to London?" [jwf]

My plane leaves Boston at 8:50 a.m. on Friday.

My plans for the end of the world? Mmm, let's see. Five pints of beer - check! Six packets of crisps - check! One towel - check! One copy of the Hitchhikkers Guide to the Galaxy - check! Electronic hitchhikking thumb - on order - (hope it gets here in time).
By the way, has anyone got a spare Babelfish?

I think they're all sold out on this planet. There may be some left at a planet near Riga.

and here is an example of the harm this sort of thing does:


'A New York man spent his entire $140,000 life savings advertising his prediction that the world will end May 21, the New York Post reported Friday.

Robert Fitzpatrick, a 60-year-old Staten Island resident, said he spent at least that sum on 1,000 subway-car placards and ads on bus kiosks and subway cars.'

No way is the Lord of song going to let the world end before the big ticket festival.http://www.bigticketfestival.com/index.cfm
I sometimes think the Lord has a list of possible dates and anytime enough people say it will be such and such date he goes to the list and scratches off that date.

I expect that lot with the concert are not *true* Christians.

Anhaga's link: Robert Fitzpatrick has spent a fortune promoting a book that he has just released that says that the world is going to end before any of the revenue from the...oh I give up.

don't give up yet. We still have to see how the guy with the May 21st date talks his way out of this one

I'm guessing he'll sell a few books.

"I expect that lot with the concert are not *true* Christians" [anhaga]

Is it good to be a true Christian? Look at how many of the early ones ended up on crosses or gallows. Then there were the ones who were invited to fight with lions in the Colosseum. And they didn't treat each other as nicely as you might expect. There was some very good work done by Christian women, and then Saint Paul required that they be silent in church, hence all those choirs composed solely of boys and men.

If you claim to be a "true" example of your religion, but you then use this as an excuse to abuse others or waste their time trying to convert them, how is that going to make the world a better place?

well unemployment will bw a thing of the past after the rapture!!!!

plenty of jobs for all!!!

it'll be like golgafrinshia, the useless 3rd of the population gone!!!

just wait for that star goat in october

My plans for the end of the world- just doing my normal routine:
for example if it is next sunday-

Get up, get dressed, eat a bite of breakfast, watch a bit of TV
Grab my bible and checkbook and drive to church.

Worship God, eat a cinnamon role, go home read the paper , have lunch,
watch a bit more TV, go to work. Work 2:30PM to whenever.
and then the end comes
suddenly rising to meet my savior in the air.
saying goodby to all the problems and cares that have held me captive these may years.
WSaying hello to all the joys of Eternity.

then wake on monday morning, still here!!!!!

Well, I certainly intend to get all my laundry washed on Sunday, whether the world ends or not. I am determined not to meet my maker (or anyone) with dirty clothes on hand.

right, still here. My Bank account -gone
my eartghly employment gone
the United States of america -gone
The UK gone
the War on Al Quida -gone
Death- gone
Taxes- gone
Faith, hope, Love- still here
the glory of God- still here
For now we see through a mirror darkly, but on that day all will be and .
