Recall Harold Camping? He predicted that the world would end last May 21st and then, when it didn't, revised the date to October 21st, which is this Friday. Now, he's waffling (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/10/19/BASV1LJD1N.DTL&tsp=1) a bit about that date as well.

Perhaps the senile old bastard is predicting his own end...I don't know how America tolerates all these so called evangelists...They wouldn't even get air time in Oz and would probably be run out of the country....

Bob..VK3ZL..It's because of freedom of speech. Any nutbag can go almost anywhere and spout any crazy shit they wish to. Fred Phelps, et. al would be arrested for their own safety if they tried the 'God hates fags' rant down under. Freedom of speech here does not guarantee an audience.
I still wish you would adopt me. I would love to learn your coil winding secrets.

Good luck with that. I don't envy you. Hope you have an easy ride.

Word to the wise: Several of my friends have undergone that one, and the lesson that every one of them imparted to me was to do exactly as the dox tell you after the op. Don't push to do too much too early. Two of my friends (shooters are often dumber than dirt) went back to normal activity too early and had to have the repair repaired, and both said it was worse than the original op.

Otherwise, how else would we continue to think his vision is infallible?

Bob..VK3ZL..They buy it, using donations from their listeners.

Suffice to say that PT Barnum would feel right at home (in the professional sense) with most of these religious hucksters.

(Yes, I know they're not all hucksters, but all too many of them are. Most remind me of a certain Steve Martin movie from a few years back, Leap of Faith. Or of a certain character in Fletch Lives... if you know the movie, you ought to know who I mean)

Because we've been conditioned over the last 110 years to despise critical thought, and education.

Now? Anyone with a degree is called an "elitist". Anyone who makes billions of dollars a year in the stock market is called a "hard worker".

Probably more truth in that than any of us would want to admit.

Tell him not to cut too much off. If you were having this done in India or SA, you could probably get it done cheaply. I hear the docs there work for tips.
Oh yeah, I know you said hernia. But you know they'll be down there playing with your junk while you're out so, might as well tell them to give you the John Holmes or Ron Jeremy.

The process has just begun here, and as the reverend stated, it's happening very quietly.
A small hole has appeared in a body panel of my 1997 Impreza Outback Sport, near the passenger side wheel well.
The universe seems to be turning inside out.

End of message.

My Subaru is now completely inside out.
It is also a Cadillac Escalade.
I do not know what that means.
This worries me.
