I will bet on excuse 1 as well; when people are this invested in delusional thinking a mere trifling error (like the failure of a prediction of WWIII) is nothing.

Absolutely bonkers. Also useless, as there doesn't appear to be anything we can do to prevent our impending doom. Unless of course there's anyone here who's worshipping a golden calf. If there is, I strongly recommend you stop that **** right now.

My money is on excuse 1) We prayed really hard and God changed his mind.

I hope that the word ''worshipping'' is not a euphemism.

Who can prophecy with certainty? FYI, only the true God. Not just any god but the one true God.

What convinces you that this isn't some deception by a false god? Maybe his track record has been perfect, but that could certainly be part of the deception. Any being capable of communicating from the ether would certainly be capable of manipulating events, even if it's only by convincing others to do its bidding.

Does your god prophecize anything pleasant, or is it all just death and destruction?

That's a thought. These internet prophets with a hot line to god never prophecy anything nice.

As Alex Chiu translated Lee’ 56th poem of Tui Bei Tu, “A war does not depend on soldiers. It’s a game of technology.” I believe that the soldiers will not be mobilized prior to China’s occupation of other countries. Missiles will just be fired. They will use the laser technology to blind military satellites. They will knock them off like what they did in 2007 on the orbiting weather satellite. And they will use cyber warfare. Can you communicate with your computer in case there is an electrical blackout?

They may forge alliance with other groups, like the Muslims, to invade countries. What are the communists in other countries? Can they not become collaborators of the Chinese?

One for the money, Two for the show, Three to get ready, Now go, cat, go.

You're coming dangerously close to infringing on the theories of George R. Simpson. I would suggest you tread lightly - George has a very good attorney.

1 2 3 4 Can I have a little more

Time is a-marching, PeaceCrusader. Surely someone should have seen the Chinese authorities massing this army of theirs by now? Or alerted LOCOG that their plans will be fruitless?

What are you doing to help the world understand the predicament it will shortly face?

I think the Chinese have adopted a new policy of combined support for the arts and global domination by commissioning Liu Bolin to hide the army on every high street in the world. Here they are:

But that implies that the invasion has already begun!

Seven brothers and their bride

Even here in Shortsville we have a Great Wall Chinese restaurant. I don't think the seven of them will be enough to occupy and ensure orders will be ready in, "Ten minute!"

1 is the loneliest number that's you'll ever do.

According to the 2000 census, there are 25375 places in the US, including boroughs and cities and towns and such. Averaging 1 Great Wall Chinese restaurant with an average of 10 employees, all of whom are members of the 200M army, in addition to the 3 million known troops and reservists, we still need to account for about 176.7 million people to be in the army.

I've driven a car I don't normally drive too much to work today...

<-------- That one

The question is, given that there's a World War due to kick off in less than a month do I:

• Only fill it with enough petrol to get me home - saving me money
• Brim it, the World War isn't going to happen
• Brim it, and fill it with guns and gold to prepare for the post-apocalyptic anarchy

I need to know by the time I leave work today, the fuel warning light has already been on for 10 miles or so.

I'm filling my car with enough diesel to get me to the Olympic Games. If the apocalypse happens, you can have any left over in the tank.

That's very kind but unfortunately none of The Don fleet runs on the oily substance but I suppose the AGA might be able to burn diesel

Is this a trick question? I'm sure I recall you said once before it's a V12. So both options are the same thing.

I've got the 3.6 Litre economy model (a.k.a. "The Sewing Machine") as opposed to the 5.3 Litre full fat version (a.k.a. "The Kettle") so I can go well over 150 miles on a single 20 gallon tank.

Actually my best is just under 600 miles but it fails to re-enforce the stereotype

Any Wednesday

(okay, I'm breaking the numerical theme for a moment)

I presume PeaceCrusader is busy celebrating Miyerkules (Wednesday) Eve, seeing as how The Great Pumpkin has decreed that the big action is coming on a Wednesday, so we may not hear any new prophecies for a bit.

I have a colleague that is very into the 2012 Mayan thing. I keep offering to buy his house at 10 cents on the dollar on Dec. 20. No dice. I'd fill 'er up, skip the guns and gold.
