BWAAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

CDC Warns of Zombie Apocolypse

Preparedness101: Zombie Apocolypse

It's about time someone, somewhere in our government got a sense of humor.

Heh. Even the CDC admits zombie apocalypse is a credible threat. I knew it!

I heard on the radio (or maybe read it, can't remember) someone saying that they were going to leave sets of old clothes of theirs around their town as evidence of 'rapturing.' And also heard that there is a group which will take in pets who will be left behind, and they assure people it will be ok because all the workers are atheists.

Also heard that Rapture Day begins at midnight in Jerusalem. Anyone know what time that is PST?

6pm PST

Either those 200 million christians ascended unnoticed or we're pretty much safe from the hellfire...at least until dec 12
The world will end when the world will end. Personally I'm hoping that by then civilization will have advanced enough to reach a space age. Probably thousands of years away, but still, it could happen. Earth's gonna be destroyed one day, but I'm betting it'll be because of a meteor and not angels descending on the world to burn the unfaithful. although some people would argue that it's a meteor from heaven...@_@
I find it hilarious that the zombie apocalypse has been a recurring topic here. Thanks to draelynn, we can keep doing our thing and still be well-prepared for the next apocalypse

Glad to do my civic duty!

I'm still hoping for the aftermath stories, purely from a psychological point of view. I really want to know how those true believers rationalize such a blow to the core of their faith. People quit jobs, sold homes, spent life savings on advertising. I'm just gobsmacked at how people can essentially talk themselves in something that amounts to a fairytale, even questioned and discounted by biblical scholars within their own faith. I don't think they are particularly gullible people. Perhaps the overbearing stresses of the filures of our society have proven too great for them to comprehend and they constructed and equally great countermeasure to maintain their faith and hope.

Some sociology major could make a great thesis out of this.

Yep. I suspect it's the combination of the simple panic trait common to mammalians, the influential leadership of a core group of leaders / influential people, people who are most predisposed to follow said leaders, and the relatively arbitrary beliefs those followers possess and the apocalyptic ideas associated with said beliefs, in a nutshell.

The aftermath stories made me laugh at their idiocy at first before I realized how hard their lives are going to be from now on. It's all too insane, because they sure as hell weren't planning for just in case. Lots of people now have no money, no home...and for what?
The sentence I highlighted reminded me of something I read about aspies and their experience in high school - it sounded a lot like that, I think it was along the lines of aspies constructing an idealized but fragile and desperately defended world, making them somewhat delusional to a certain degree about the themselves.
I think I get what some of those religous fanatics might be thinking, that maybe they want the world to end because heaven would be the answer to all their problems, wouldn't it?

Oh well, either way another rapture bites the dust. Maybe people won't be so quick to believe in "calculations" from the bible in the future, though I doubt it.

ive totally been waking up with a nice devilock for the past couple months, every day.

anyone else get this? i really just think danzig's up to no good again....

Hey guys, I start school in a few weeks. High school. With all the people and the socializing.

...

*locks self inside Misfits Club Headquarters*

I don't blame you!

If anyone comes looking for me, tell them I'm dead. and I'm amending my last post slightly. I'd like to change it to Misfits Club Fortress. and it's in the sky. So I can look out and shoot a misdirection hex at any non-Misfit that comes near the entrance.

...if anyone's wondering if I'm this scared of people in real life, the answer is yes

...sorry, I get antsy when summer is dwindling away...

People in general?
I had such anxieties a while back, it's fairly restrictive.

You can do THIS evil_eyes! Just remember - you are not the only misfit in that entire high school! Tune up your radar. Seek out your own kind. You are not alone.

WE ARE LEGION!

I am decided that tshirts are the 'silent' communication tool of the common human teenager. It's how like minded groups identify and gravitate towards one another. Get yourself a cool zombie apocalypse shirt, maybe a band t or two. When someone says 'cool shirt' - that's your signal! Potential misfit brethren.

No matter what happens - you are just as smart (probably smarter) than everyone there, just as interesting and cool. We got your back!

Sic 'em misfit!

Haha, that'd be great...except I'd get in trouble for not wearing the school uniform XD

What scares me the most is the classmates, I'm usually alone. Last year, my PE (Phys Ed) was...ohgodohgod...it was ballroom dancing. Just thinking of the close physical contact required made my face go :C But I'll spare you all the horror stories *shudder*

Hmm...if T-shirts were ways of telling someone, "I'm one of you!", I'd be the one on the look out for people wearing plain T-shirts, like me. I think I'm somewhat of a cross between several types, but part of none.
