Post your thoughts...

Nope, 05:05 5 seconds

But that has already passed because God goes off military time

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs.
Feed it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, no, Ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height.
Wire in a fire, representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site.
Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
Look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed
dummy with the rapture andthe revered and the right, right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

The only thing I have found was 5/5/2000.

When that passed they said "Oh we meant 5/5/2005!"

When this passes they will say "OH, wait we re-read it and it meant 5/5/2050. Our bad!"

One of these times they will be right and then they'll say "See, we told you so...it only took us XX tries"

Yeah. Did the world end over there?

I'd like to know what to expect when it gets here, if you don't mind.

Yes, calendar keeping is relative. We have to look at the source. Why would 5/5/5 be at all special on the Gregorian calendar, anyhow? I didn't think the number five was all that special to Catholics. Wouldn't June 6th, 2006 is a better date for Armageddon?

Now, 5/5/5 would strike me as a very important date for Discordians. However, on the Discordian calendar, today is Setting Orange, the 52nd day of Discord in the YOLD 3171. Nothing terribly special about that...

I'm not sure *sees if his GW client starts up and logs in* Nope, guess it didn't end. Unless you're still allowed to play after the apocolypse, if that's the case, I neither know or care.

Just an FYI
