You May Want to Get Your Things Together

From the "I Told You So" desk comes the news that an earthquake triggered a tsunami near the Solomon Islands in the Pacific Ocean.

The Solomon Islands - which include Guadalcanal, site of a vicious WWII battle - were hit with a 10 ft. wall of water early Monday morning (as I live and breathe, it's not even Monday where I am. That's early).

I know you're thinking, "What's this tsunami have to do with me and my everlasting soul?" Well, as noted earlier, some nut predicted that a tidal wave would smack into the eastern seaboard of the United States on April 1, 2007 and thereby unleash a global cleansing of non-believers.

So, the tsunami turned out to be a few thousands miles and a couple oceans away, but it did nail a country most recently a British protectorate...sound familiar? Okay, maybe the prophesy was a tad off.

Currently four people are missing and smiting statistics are still inconclusive. Say a prayer just in case.

Surf's Up

I'm not too sure what I've got planned this weekend. How about you? Oh yeah, I guess I will be watching the Final Four Saturday evening, but not much planned Sunday outside the usual Palm Sunday doings.

What's, that? The world is ending Sunday April 1, 2007. Huh, wonder if that will screw up the coverage of the national championship? At least we'll be done with Joakim Noah once and for all. Wait, big flood and a guy named Noah. Looks like we'll have him for a while...well another 40 days at least.

I'm not one for Biblical prophesy disseminated via free web press releases - especially after the scholarly work of Bart Ehrman - but I do love a good April Fool's joke.

Did you notice that? Coincidence maybe. Just remember this little zinger from Palm Sunday 1965.

Yikes.
