Really? Because I looked outside my window and don’t see anything yet.

I got this email yesterday and I have to give this spammer credit, they really did make me take notice.

So I looked out the window and did not see anything and then I started to think that maybe if someone did start Armageddon they probably would not bother to send out an email press release. I would think they would start by appearing on Fox News and then start the email chain going.

It has been several hours since I got the email and still no sign of the apocalypse. Todays question will therefore be: Did Armageddon really start and if so, why can I not see it?

I think it has something to do with the rapture stuff that the http://www.SeeTheLight.com guys are yapping on and on about.

Perhaps he just popped in the DVD and was informing you he started watching it. He might need some milk to go with his animal crackers.

Huh, Jason Massie and I got the email at the same time. Guess BaconBitsAndBytes.com was popular with God. You would think that he’d pick a better name for his return. Like Brad Pitt or Stone Thunderclap. Dick Brown? Might as well have been Gaylord Semenstain.

Guess I’m off the “chosen ones” list now!

Sorry, you weren’t invited to the apocalypse.

I guess either the apocalypse passed me by or I was not invited. Either way, I am happy.

Read the release notes, Tom. You need to be on v3.5 to see the Armageddon. You’re probably on 3.4 still, so the best you’ll be able to get is a plague of locusts.

Crap, I am only on v2.8, so I don’t even have locusts. I had some Japanese beetles, maybe four or five of them, buzz me as I sat by the pool the other day. That’s probably it for me.
