    WTF? If that chick downstairs is only in the 9th grade,you might want to think this through! :unsure:

    Anyway, if the world is ending anyway you've got bigger things to worry about.

    The really annoying thing is that despite the time difference I very well may already be up and on my way to work by the time they turn it on and destroy us all.

    God, the fear about this is just....palpable. :lol:

    Look at it this way, though: If you are worried about everything you'll be missing after you die, at least this way you wouldn't have that worry anymore.

    In a way, I'm kind of hoping it'll wipe everything out tomorrow.

    Then, at least, I won't have to do a shitton of driving to please like ten people.

    Even if it does it will take a while for us to feel the effects here, I imagine.
