...You've just inspired me to set up a website where anyone dumb enough to believe in the end of the world can give their stuff away before the "big event." Most believers wouldn't participate, but I'm sure some would and I could get a pretty decent pile of free stuff.

They'll sell it to me for apocolypse points, which get them cool stuff and magic powers in the 2012 end times.

One if my employees would qualify as a religious zealots IMHO and is preparing to be taken in the rapture on this day. She's actually beginning to worry me as a security risk because of this. No joke.

Time for a little "job counseling". I lived in Texas for 13 years and I know the type. Half-(denomination), half-Lemming.

Hey, don't knock it, you could be onto something there. As Barnum said, there's a sucker born every minute!

What's to prepare? I'm going in my typical Levis® and Hawaiian shirt. Oh yeah, and my tinfoil hat.

Didn't Gard once post a link to site that offered to take care of your pets after you ascended to heaven during the Rapture or something like that? *lol*

Bingo! She has been atending these very spendy seminars that teach her how to prevent illness by getting the devil out of your body and using wholistic medicine to the point where your purified body will "tell" you what vitamins you need. I had a cold the week before I went on vacation for Xmas and she told me that I was sick because I let the devil into my thoughts...I'm ready for the so called rapture, got my while house covered in tin foil and lambs blood. Not to offend any of those who belive in the end of days, but I just don't buy into it, and I was raised Southern Baptist and Episcopal.

Ironic considering the 2012 apocalypse comes from misinterpreting a pagan Mayan religion and not a monotheistic one.
