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?

i noticed the advertising for this when i logged onto photobucket today

go to sleep, nothing to see here.

four minor earthquakes in California in the last hour. And US troops will remain in Kosovo. LINK

And that dot is calmed down to orange.

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

If any of you haven't seen the movie Ghost in the Shell, I urge you to give it a look, It has some really interesting philosophical insight.

Puppet Master: As a sentient life form, I hereby demand political asylum.

Chief Aramaki: Is this a joke?

Nakamura: Ridiculous! It's programmed for self-preservation!

Puppet Master: It can also be argued that DNA is nothing more than a program designed to preserve itself. Life has become more complex in the overwhelming sea of information. And life, when organized into species, relies upon genes to be its memory system. So man is an individual only because of his intentional memory. But memory cannot be defined, but it defines mankind. The advent of computers and the subsequent accumulation of uncalculable data has given rise to a new system of memory and thought, parallel to your own. Humanity has underestimated the consequences of computerization.

Nakamura: Nonsense! This is no proof at all that you're a living, thinking life form.

Puppet Master: And can you offer me proof of your existence? How can you? When neither modern science nor philosophy can explain what life is.

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.

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.

Well nothing happened but we can all see the way things are headed. It will be a long time before people feel safe from financial disaster.

All I know is if you haven't started putting a few things away for a rainy day it is most likely too late. It seems to me the house of cards could crumble at any moment.

I always keep $200.00 on me for that last mad dash to the discount "Save a Lot" that is a mile or so from my work. I hate all this crap but if it does come tumbling down it seems it will be global on a scale never seen before but at least I have about 6 months of food and water stored away.

Some people are more optimistic... Like the so called "experts" but I have no faith in the "everything is fine" quote. We heard that one just before the bailout that if not passed would be a disaster...?

The person in this article says shes not putting anymore money into her 401k. What the article doesn't say is what she is doing with that money...? Is she just sitting on it or are people doing what we are doing and just not talking about it?

If the majority of people are not doing anything to prepare it will be really bad in the streets... I'll have food but I doubt I will get much sleep....

CNN has been down for the past 15 minutes..

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.

It's working now. It's slow, but working.

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
