Countdown to 12:34:56 7/8/9
Shortly after half-past noon today. Be there. I predict the end of the world, with gnashing of teeth, rending of garments, gnawing of tongues for pain, emergence of many-headed beasts, horsemen, plus final determinations on wickedness vs. righteousness, etc. Either that, or 12:34:57 7/8/9. Watch for updates.
UPDATE: Well, it’s 12:34:56 7/8/9 plus, EDT. World not visibly ended yet. Damn. Could have been interesting. Central/Mountain, La-La Time still to go. That could be it. The world probably ends on La-La Time. Then there’s whatever kind of time they have in Hawaii, Alaska, points west. International dateline, the last sunset.
This moment in numerological minutiae brought to you by my pal Paul C., a Vietnam Psyops vet and sober-minded, non-apocalyptic corporate lawyer who also emailed the other day recommending Soul Survivor: The Reincarnation of a World War II Fighter Pilot by Andrea and Bruce Leininger about their son, whose screams, dreams and waking pronouncements at age two prompted research. Paul deems it “remarkable.” I’ll say. Reviews and vid at the link. Sounds weird, yet fascinating.

[...] about two hours it will be 12:34:56 on 07/08/09. Jules Crittenden predicts either the end of the world, or nothing in particular. Given that said end of the world [...]

Doing single-digit years now, are we?
Four-digits is the standard, has been since the global economic meltdown caused by the “Y2K” bug, surely you remember? But “2009″ wouldn’t work, would it?
A nice meme, but a little hokey.

Still here. No obvious signs of the End Times. Well, unless you count that fused-blossom Siamese twin of a coneflower growing outside my window.

Today is also the punchline to a really bad joke.
Why was six afraid of seven?
Seven eight nine.
Har har!

The horsemen may yet arrive if they are on European time….while you guys use the date format mm/dd/yy over in Ireland we use the format dd/mm/yy. Over this side of the pond it wont be until August 7th that 12.34.56 7/8/9 hits.
Surely then the gnashing of garmets, rending of tongues, flossing of teeth, etc will begin.

You mean the world is not ending today?
Dang! I took out a humongous loan from a guy that goes by the name of “Thumbs” so’s I could have a ginormous End of the World Party!
I hope he doesn’t expect to get his money back.

It’s so nice to find out that I’m not the only OCD freak around. My girlfriend thought I was nuts last night & I got a few strange looks at work today when I made everyone stop & watch the clock with me.

End of the world?
If Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden and the Messiah go first I’ll stay and hold down the fort.

I woke up this morning only to find the world is gone. I’m typing this and posting it with sheer mind power.

[...] Jules Crittenden points out that today at 12:34 PM and 56 seconds it was 12:34:56 7/8/9 … and I missed it. Actually, I was there but I didn’t realize it. [...]
