Buckle that belt!

The comments on this post over at Neil Shakespeare got me wanting to revisit the Rapture Index and see just how we are doing and if any progress has been made. Looks like we are up to a score of 151, which is in the "Fasten Your Seat Belts" category. hmmm. Well, I'm not going anywhere but I think it's kind of funny that they think people will need seat belts for this. I say "unbuckle your seat belts so we can get your cars".

They even have a photo gallery of possible candidates for the AntiChrist! Bill Gates is first on the list (note, a quote from the page: "Please note I do not put any stock in these men being the Beast."). I don't know... I don't think Bill Gates is so bad anymore. He's just an ultra-successful businessman who is now giving tons of money to charity. I hate Windows and love my Mac but I'm resigned to be part of that little minority of Mac-heads, and besides, it's just an operating system and GUI. It's not the end of the world.

I went over to J-Walk this afternoon and see that he also linked to The Rapture Index today. I swear it's a coincidence, I guess people who love weirdness think alike sometimes.

I'd go with Prince William. I know everybody thinks it's his little brother, but the Anti-Christ is too smart to go around wearing Nazi t-shirts. And it can't be Qaddafi because he looks too much like the Anti-Christ is supposed to look, and the Anti-Christ would never look like he's supposed to. He's a tricky sucker...

I hope it's not his little brother. One of my cats is named after him, "Henry". I know he goes by "Harry" or "Harry Pothead" or whatever, but the cat name sticks.

And why did they leave the Pope off the list? And Homer Simpson? Oh yeah... he's fictional... hmmmm.
