    World Ends Friday—Or Maybe Not

    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 a bit about that date as well.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    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....

    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.
