They forgot to mention that you must do all of the things on the checklist in just enough time to leave EXACTLY 007 seconds left on the timer.

And remember to cut the RED wire, not the GREEN wire, or else….

Oops, maybe it is the RED wire, I never can remember. Sorry.

So, apparently tomorrow is the End Of The World.

I heard about it from P.Z. Myers, who is always on top of stuff like this.

You might remember the last time I posted about these guys, and since then they’ve been wrong on at least three subsequent occasions, so you may or may not want to actually panic.

(Oh, okay, you got me. This whole post is just an excuse to use this picture of Karina Smirnoff naked. But, hey, pretty hot, right?)

From The New Yorker: “Attention, People of Earth” by Paul Simms

Speaking of which, have you seen the promos on ABC for the remake of the 1980s TV show “V”? In case you aren’t old enough to remember the 1980s, or are so old you can’t remember the 1980s, the show was about a bunch of aliens who came to Earth, pretended to be friendly, took over the planet, and then turned out to be rat-munching lizard people intent on destroying humanity….you know, the Republican Party. And like the Republican Party today, this time they’ve got a hot chick leading them, but she’s still a rat-eating lizard underneath. I thoroughly expect this show to run right up until the 2012 election, whereupon it will have to be re-classified as a “reality show”.

My friends, say hello to Izzy.

Not so much? How about a video clip of a likely Darwin Award winner playing with a rifle?

I think that stunt deserves a big round of applause, don’t you?

Well, no matter what, there’s always room for Jello!

I could get drummed out of the corps for this, but here’s a peek inside an actual PC, showing you just how this marvel of modern technology REALLY works!

In times of turmoil like this, it’s good to know you can always count on The Onion to tell it like it is.

You’ll remember the amusing video of Medieval Tech Support, well here’s a McSweeney’s piece that imagines how it might go in the not-so-distant future.
