Predicting the End: The Scientific Truth Behind the Rapture

  • Thread starter turbo
  • Start date
In summary, Rhody is worried that the rapture will happen and he's not fit for heaven, Valhalla, or the Christian heaven. He's also worried that he won't be able to attend the rapture chat because he has a meeting at 6pm. At the chat, he's excited to see which members disappear at 6PM, just a scientific experiment. He's out of the chat at the end because he's going to a meeting. There will be a radio show about the rapture tomorrow, and Rhody hopes to hear it online. He loves levitating and doesn't like the feeling of not being able to breathe or bumping his

I sure hope so, so we can see which members disappear at 6PM local time. Just a scientific experiment...

I might invoke the revocation of Daylight Savings Time, cheating you of that extra hour.

Who am I kidding? I'm not fit for the Christian heaven! Valhalla, perhaps...

Awesome practical joke our Christian friends could pull. What if, starting at 6PM tomorrow, every last one of them stopped answering their phones & email and left the city for 24 hours? Start the rest of us sweating for a while wouldn't it?

'Guys? Hello, guys? ... uh oh ...'

Now, now, calling it rapture chat would be to religious for this chat. We all agreed we would have a homework helper appreciation-chat tomorrow. :wink:

You've got 22 hours to become unworthy.

I might consider waiving my usual fee for an adulterous tryst.

But only as a favour.

If it is supposed to happen at 6, shouldn't the radio show go from 5-6 not 5-7? :uhh:

And BTW, didn't that guy just release his book? That's just poor marketing - he should have given it at least a year. Think of all the paperback sales he's going to lose!

Wait, there's going to be a radio show about this? Any chance they'll play it on the internet? I would love to hear them at 6pm! :smile:

I'm feeling light-headed. A couple of times today I levitated just a little bit. I had to put a seat belt on my chair just to finish work. It's getting worse.

Where can I get some ankle weights?

I love levitating. I don't like bumping my head, though.

Light headed? You weren't trying to http://www.snopes.com/religion/rapture.asp" [Broken] were you? :mad:

Do not inhale the helium! Do not drink the koolaid! And for god sakes, do not eat the purple dots!

Trust me.

Use sunscreen.

TOTAL opposite for me. :shy: so many times in the last few days I have gotten myself tangled in something or tripped falling flat. The worst was when I went to catch someone who was feeling light headed and after lowering him to the floor I find a 250 lb man laying face up, out cold on top of me. I don't think I'm going any where but then I didn't buy a ticket either. Have fun all. :rolleyes:

It's like entering the event horizon. Nothing noticeable happens.
