For some folks it would not bother me to see them vanish into the ether.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
And I feel fine.

Sweet! How's the accuracy?

Thanks Tinman! I haven't heard that song in quite a while.

Barth, all your toys make me angsty.....I'm thinking of revoking your picture posting privileges just so I will stop thinking about all the stuff I NEED that will get me in trouble with the wife...

[TheTman]

JustinN, if he keeps showing off like that, then make him get one for EVERYBODY!! LOL

[OldLincoln]

Well if it's today, with all that's going on I have to quote that old line.... It's a good day to die. I'm not morose, in fact enjoying my day, loving my wife and family. Just a bit fed up with all. Yesterday in my own home town, 1 kid brought a semi pistol with extras mags to school to off a kid he has a beef with, and at another school, a kid had 3 real bombs in his backpack.

Enough is enough!

[Bawanna]

So far so good here. I'm feeling fine. Think I'll go work on some grips.

[Starbug]

All is normal over here too, so I'm watching tv.

[Bawanna]

I followed Muggsy's lead and am trying to hit the missus up for favors being it's the end of the world and all. Her reply had something to do with He!! freezing over. Anybody got a date on when that might happen?

With all the stuff going on and the morons in the majority it can't be far off.

[Planedude]

Made it thru so far, I guess "the end" had better hurry to get it done, at least here in my time zone.:rolleyes:

[Planedude]

...Her reply had something to do with He!! freezing over. Anybody got a date on when that might happen?


Bawanna, I"m pretty sure that happened the day the Saints won a Superbowl.

Just saying:D

Bawanna , you're in luck. Looks like it already happened. :)

The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I go out with you", and take into account the fact that I went out with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over.
The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct . . . leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."
THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A."

Well only 24 minutes here in western Washington until the end of the day and I'm alive and well.

Guess tomorrow will be another day.

[O'Dell]

It's 3:22 am on 12/22 here in Georgia and I'm worried - it's completely dark outside!!!

[ZardozCZ]

We all woke up in the next world, but didn't notice it. Little clues like your aim is better, your bursitis doesn't hurt so much, food tastes better, will be your clue were in a better place than the old place.

[muggsy]

Thanks Tinman! I haven't heard that song in quite a while.

That was me singing, melissa5 and I have to admit I was in great voice. :)

[yqtszhj]

Well crap, were still here so I guess I better pay the mortgage.

[7shot]

Yep, still here and kicking. I'm watching the Matrix...coincidence?

[Bawanna]

I woke up breathing again too. Can't even get the end of the world right. Must be an odummy program.

[O'Dell]

Well it may be the end of the world for me sorta. My furnace quit working and it's going down to 30 tonight and for the next few nights. The service guy can't get a replacement circuit board until Monday at the earliest. My cat is already complaining and I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

[jocko]

shoot the cat!!! solves problem #2, get a motel.solves Problem #1

Give the cat some antidepressants. Won't care if it's cold or not.

More likely to shoot the service guy. My furnace has been malfunctioning for three days but would eventually work. Now it doesn't work at all. Anyway, I could never shoot an animal, a person maybe, but an animal-never!

[jocko]

oh my,ur one of those members huh??

Peenus member- huh??/Just sayin

[Jeremiah/Az]

Not the end of the world here in Az., but my dog got sick & threw up & pooped in the floor! :eek:

[Bawanna]

O'Dell, come on over, I got a wood stove. Long as we can find combustibles we can stay warm. Bring the cat too.

[O'Dell]

Thanks Bawanna, but it appears that the crisis has been averted. After I last posted, I decided that I had nothing to lose, so I went up in the attic and began tracing the wiring in the furnace. I found a ground wire that seemed to be making intermittent contact, and I secured it. The furnace has been working properly for four hours, w/o the starting and stopping as before. The tech was going to charge $350 for a new board. I'll pay him for a service call, but I question his expertise since someone with no knowledge of furnaces fixed it.

BTW, the cat is happy now.

[JFootin]

Glad you got it fixed so your house will be comfortable for Christmas, O'Dell. Merry Christmas! :)

[Tinman507]

As a former tech, I am very disappointed in your tech. Actually, I prefer to be known as a mechanic as opposed to tech. Mechanics fix stuff. Techs change parts. That's frankly all they're taught these days. Change out circuit board.
The ground likely was putting a fault code into the board. But instead of isolating it and discovering the board was good, he did the quick & dirty and ordered a board. Only to arrive later with new board and still having the problem. Of course he'd have installed the new board and charged you for that plus the extra time to ring out the wiring.
