Don't ban Pengy, just whack him senseless with some raptured imaginary ugly, slimy fish, that is a more fitting punishment.

Finally received an explanation.

Chuck Norris canceled the rapture. Apparently the planned destruction of the world wasn't up to his standards.

There was a small earthquake around 7pm last night in the bay area.

For a second, I thought the world was ending.
