I'm alive. Nice.

[Abeguy]

true, I am alive. No end for me, suckers. at least, not yet anyways

[Zeikio]

Still alive....but I still got three more hours of to go...you never know...

Heh there's been six tornado's in wisconsin today....creepy.... (Still hoping we don't get hit!)

[used:)]

THERE IS NO THREAT. It's pointless to worry about dying on a regular day. To be honest, this has been a great day for me in a while.

On a funny note, I heard a huge goth wedding took place at the resaurant where my mother works near. She said the flower girls all had black veils and with all this gothy make-up on and shit. I wish I had photos.

Per square mile, the UK gets more tornadoes than the US. Of course, ours are pretty weedy.

Hooray! The world did not end. You can all come out now. Damn.

What really seems to bug me is that people get dumber and dumber. Have you noticed? Most humans don't learn from their mistakes. Medieval people thought the world was gonna end in 1000. Who can blame them? they were stupider back then and lived in a world controlled by religion. Then there was the Y2K thing (world was supposed to end in 2000) and now this. Eyyyy....

[Fuzzle Guy]

lol, Everyone I know was crapping themselves. They were absalutely terrified that the world was going to end.

I'm yet to hear of any culture that uses any base other than ten, for one simple reason - we have ten fingers. People began counting on their fingers. Quod Erat Demonstrandum

Roman Numerals are base 5. Tally marks, the very first method of writting numbers, are base 1.

It's funny, actually. I was longing just yeseterday that Britain could reintroduce pre-decimalisation currency. I love shillings, crowns, florins and farthings. Thai currency rocked before decimalisation, too. Governments are confusing culture and science.

The radio yesterday had a report from Hell - being a small town somewhere in Hicksville, USA.

Which reminded me of my own visit to the gates of hell when I lived a five minute walk from the Valley of Hinnom, just outside the walls of the old city of Jerusalem. The name is pronounced Gai Hinnom in Hebrew, which became the name of (and reputed location of the gates to) hell (Gehonnim in Hebrew).

There's a story about the End of Days that the valley will be filled with a great fire and crossed by two bridges - one made of iron and one of paper. The devout will cross the bridge of paper whilst the unfaithful will cross the one of iron. Their faith shall reward them and the paper bridge will hold whilst the iron one will collapse, dropping the unfaithful to their doom.

So, how did a nice little valley get such a dreadful reputation? In the Canaanite period, the city of Jerusalem was occupied by the Jebusites. They constructed a huge metal statue of their god (I think it was Baal) with outstretched arms and built a fire underneath until the hands were red hot. Then they threw their children into the hands. Fun for the whole family, really.

And this concludes today's travel guide.

Hell, Michigan, I think.
Wonder what that new slayer album sounds like, has the original line up.

I wonder if old Jerusalem was what Dante used as inspiration for Limbo.

That was a very uneventful day. The Omen came out.

[Statikk HDM]

Why remake that? Did they really think they were going to improve upon the original? Same goes for all those Exorcist sequels and remakes. The first one was AWESOME, no need to do it again and suck at it.

[Mutual Friend]

Have you actually SEEN The Exorcist sequels/prequels? While number 2 and Harlin's prequel certainly are a load of crap, 3 and Schrader's prequel are interesting and pretty decent.

[Abe16]

Pshaw! Bunch'a bull sh**!
I don't believe that some silly date'll kill the world at all! Just a bunch'a friggin' people who watched Bedazzled a million times think that 6/6/6 will end humanity. Honestly...where do people get these kind'a crap?

Im game for what Dark Elite said. 'Nuff said ya'll.

The first one was meh. Remaking a meh film is shit in my book.

I refuse to see The Omen remake simply because of it's sill 6/6/06 ad campaignery.

Remaking meh-films is what remakes are for! I really don't like the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre but the remake actually turned in some fun fare. Likewise, remaking something that was already a masterpiece - you'd go for that? Seems like some twisted logic... Unless you hate the idea of remakes regardless.

I just generally don't like remakes, and that twisted logic was a'twistin' my words, sah. I haven't seen a remake I've liked.

Anyone seen the new Poseidon? It was hilariously anusweepagesque.

[ANGRY ELEPHANT]

I beat Satan at a game of pool,and he ran away crying.What a wuss!

[Dusan]

wtf is this thread on about?

[Fez]

Doesn't matter now. Shoo!
