The sun'll start expanding in, what, a few million years? That's my doomsday, and it's pretty likely to actually happen :P
A few billion.
Eh, closer to 1 billion I think. It'll be a few billion before it explodes.

@ Frumple: I know it's silly, but as each "doomsday" arrives I always feel a little tense. Like this time, the crazies turn out to be right. Seeing as how I really don't want to die.

You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?

Nothing happened!
I WANT MY MONEY BACK DAMN YOU.
Technically something happened. If you refresh, you'll see that the website is down.

So...does anyone else get an irrational feeling of apprehension now that the time is at hand? Or is that just me?

I call bullshit. It can't be that hard to fake a birth certificate.

Though if it is real, it isn't that bad. Nobody will make the connection. "Courage" is kind of an odd name, but I'm pretty sure it's been used before. "Wolf" is even more acceptable, on its own.
Look at the OP's number, it is 77
So is the one that recommends "CourageWolf".

From the happy thread:
My school's gaming club was shut down for a short time after a parent accused the teacher running it of teaching witchcraft.
WTF society?
Hey, it was only for a couple weeks. Then we went right back to child sacrifice and drinking the blood of virgins playing D&D.
People like those heretics people who throw false accusations based out of ignorance are why we can't have nice things. One of the good things about Generation Y is that from what I've seen people just don't give a fuck and do whatever, thus embracing free will like how nature intended. Me saying a good thing about Generation Y despite my being part of it is my "What the fuck?" moment.

I blame the Mayans.
Well, it IS the end of the world. Why be bitter about stuff?

Then how did it send?

My guess? The association some people (like Jack Chick) made between D&D and devil-worship. Don't the older crowds tend to be a little more heavily religious?

And don't try to say that it's a non-issue nowadays. My school's gaming club was shut down for a short time after a parent accused the teacher running it of teaching witchcraft.

It pisses me off, because I've already seen signs of my kid being slowly turned Christian by osmosis and peer pressure and even some school teaching.  Just a few days ago he came home and told me "Did you know Christmas is Jesus' birthday?"  I asked him how he learned that and he responded "We sang songs about it in music class!"  He's already told me he believes in god and asks why we don't go to church.  We need to get the fuck out of Indiana.
So how does this make you any different from her, if her kid started showing atheistic or islamic ideas?

The difference is I'm not teaching my kid anything about religion at his age, and I'd never think about trying to influence another kid's beliefs.  I think that indoctrination of children into specific religious/spiritual beliefs is horrific.  That subject should be a personal journey that doesn't begin until such an age as they begin to question on their own initiative.
Except you are. You're deliberately trying to shield him from an ideology that you don't agree with, or at least that's the way I'm reading it.

It goes off in 3 hours. I must sleep. Someone tell me how it goes.
Looks like it goes off exactly at midnight my time. I should still be awake then.
