I just called in to work. Something epic better happen. I mean other than my sinus infection. I hope the world doesn't end before I can fill my Zithromax.

Sleeping Beauty will be released on blu-ray today... Perhaps that will be the event that dwarfs 9/11?

Yellow right now. At least I'll get a book deal out of this.

I'm in Costa Rica and something woke me up at around 2:55am. There was a very loud rumble in the sky, much louder and deeper than a jet and it went on and on so it was not thunder. I assumed it was the asteroid but according to other posts on ATS this has already occurred. Nothing in the mainstream media so far so it could have been a jet I suppose.

Well twelve minutes to go

Does everyone really think something will happen?

Catastrophic common sense will engulf the cosmos for exactly .0025 of a second, causing mass self-destruction of 7-10 conspiracies universally.

......waiting for it.... waiting... waiti...x


Damnit!!! even that one didn't come true... oh well, I can always turn to religion for doom and gloom..

Lets see around that time the Global consciousness project fliped out, Iceland Shut down their banking system, WE had four minor (and I do mean minor) quakes in cali all at the same time, A meteor evaporated, and I may lose an ATS debate for getting over absorbed in this event .....


AHHHH I got sucked in by ATS JUNK!!!!! THe web bots were right!!@!!

In seriousness todays trading will suck, your 401k is gone and by thursday that will likly sink in to the american mindset.... No social security, No retirement for the smart savers, Work till you die, the new american way.

I am unable to get any packets to return after pinging www.cnn.com


Anyone else experiencing this or have any explanations other than
maintenance.

Peace.

How is anyone supposed to find the informative posts in this thread when there's at least four pages worth of foolishness? Some of you really need to stop with all the jokes and sarcastic posts.

Well, seems to be pretty high latency, but I can ping and pull up their site. Probably just a lot of people watching the news very closely right now
