Sci-Tech UpdateScientists prepare for the Apocalypse

As many Evangelical Christians have pointed out, the wars in Iraq and Lebanon are preparing the world for the inevitable tribulation and return of the Christ. Pretty soon, Israeli bulldozers will make short work of the Dome of the Rock to rebuild the temple, will usher in the final battle at Megiddo (Arma Megiddon). As the Shi'ites aligned the deadline for their response to the UN Security Council with the possible return of the Mehdi, it seems like a perfect comic book plot. I can see it now, Jesus and the Mehdi return for one final battle. Jesus seems to be winning at first, but the Mehdi scores a fatal blow because of Jesus' lack of personal body armor. Then, they realize that they are actually the same person, and have been battling each other inside the Matrix.

However, the Apocalypse comes when Scientists at CERN inadvertently blow up the universe. This is a reassuring quote...

"For the first time in many decades we have built a machine that exceeds our powers of prediction. New processes are bound to be discovered," he added. "We are truly journeying into unknown territory."

Cox dismissed worries that by adventuring into the unknown and creating tiny black holes, the machine could even threaten to destroy the planet.

"The probability is at the level of 10 to the minus 40," he said.

Of course, what I'm really excited about in all of this is that the FCC approved the Samsung i310 for use in the U.S. Finally, my dream of having a PDA/MP3 Player/Digital Camera/Camcorder/Cellphone/GPS Device is coming closer to reality.
