Maybe we should make sad and gullible people throw money here instead? Alien invasion scare? We're the ones who will be able to talk to them? Hmmmmm....

According to Harold Camping from Oakland I have a half an hour left (local time) I'd say see what comes and seeing is believing... The guy is what's known as a false prophet. Yep, my guess too. I'm gonna put on clean underwear just in case. I was under the impression that if you were drawn up in the rapture, you left worldly things like clothes behind... Who said we were wearing clothes? Then why worry about whether your undies are clean? BOINC WIKI ID: 1109529 ·

How many of you were tempted to go to Goodwill, buy a bunch of cheap used clothes, and strew said articles of clothing all over the street? Hey don't pick on the Christians! They bring us free bread every Friday because they think we're poor. We call them the bread fairies. ...although admittedly last time the JWs came knocking I told them we were Satanists.

Didn't you invite them to the your next Coven meet? Tut tut, very remiss of manners .... ;-) Somehow, I think they would find they have a previous engagement on that night ...... Once the JWs showed up at my door just as I was about to shower after a few hours of sweaty yard work. They declined my invitation to wash my back while they made their pitch....
