Firsts

I got to have my first Christmas ever. I wasn't sure about the whole gift thing, but then Paul got me this electric pencil sharpener. Nice! I've never had one of them before. Now if I just had a pencil... I'm also excited about some other firsts coming up, my first time on TV on New Year's Eve, and then the first day of classes at Barf University. I hope to see you all in a BU class soon.

Need to Make Some Extra Bucks?

We could all use a few extra bucks this time of year. Especially BarfBucks. They're effin' hard to come by right now. But if you simply submit your own I Gotta Have My STV video your account will be credited with 50 BarfBucks. Nice! What could be easier?

Finishing That Thought

To finish up our survey results, there were a bunch of folks that were sure a big war was on the way. Some thought it would be between the Christian and Muslim nations, some between the United States and China, and one guy named Phil thought the war would be fought between  Michael Jackson fans and Duran Duran groupies. In the Other category there were a lot of people who were convinced that cellist Yo-Yo Ma would cause the end of the world. An effin' cellist? Really? Or maybe they said Yo Ma-Ma. But I'm not sure who that is. Then there were the twins who would were scared that their pet hamster would mutate into a killer rodent. And then there was one guy who just kept chanting "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn". Or something like that. I just want to know why there are so many strange options here. Why not something sensible like a war to determine which half of the population gets eaten by Soul Lords?

Large Hadron Collider

And speaking of the Large Hadron Collider, don't forget that 3% of our survey think it will be responsible for the end of the world in 2012. Nice! But I' not effin' convinced, after all the LHC is very heavily monitored for safety. In fact, if you are wondering whether there is a problem you can always check http://hasthelargehadroncolliderdestroyedtheworldyet.com/ or http://www.hasthelhcdestroyedtheearth.com/ for up to the minute monitoring.

Coincidence? I think not

And the same day the Large Hadron Collider researchers are talking about a new particle, we also get reports of UFOs. http://news.yahoo.com/video/science-15749654/ufo-spotted-over-russian-protesters-27587904.html   That should make you wonder what's really going on.
 

Particles

I keep hearing about all these effin' particles. I don't know what it's all about, but you should definitely check this out: http://news.yahoo.com/video/science-15749654/the-god-particle-27581961.html

The Final Frontier

Many of the people in the survey think the world will end because of something in space. Most of this seems to come from movies. Solar Flares, comets, meteors... all effin' popular. A few folks were convinced it was all due to something called Nibiru or Planet X. Right.Then there was the crowd that were sure that a group of shapeshifting reptiles from space called the Babylonian Brotherhood had already taken the form of important individuals. The fact that they think that Kris Kristofferson is one of the key individuals somewhat detracts from their credibility. But a big war with scaly dudes from outer space, how fun would that be?

The Religious Views

If you want to talk about the end of the world just look to religion for some effin' fun ideas. Just take the Hindus where some old dude named Vishnu comes back to the world calling himself Kalki, riding a white horse and carrying a sword that looks like a comet. He goes around destroying anything evil. Sounds effin' fun! And not all that different than Santa Claus who has a reindeer named Comet and flies around looking for naughty kids. Amazing parallels between the religions of Hinduism and Commercialism. Christianity has Armageddon and Islam has The Hour where Christ battles the Anti-Christ, Judiasm has the war of Gog and Magog, Zoroasterism has Frashokereiti, which sounds like an effin' excellent kind of dessert or coffee drink. And you could lump all the World War III numbers here as well since most people think that will be a war that starts between the Christian and Muslim nations. But even combined they can't quite keep up with the Natural Disaster folks. But if you ask me, I'm rooting for Ragnarok so I can see gods fighting giant wolves and serpents, dwarves and giants, because that's the kind of fighting I'm used to at the end of the world. Nice!
