I believe it - I read somewhere that 1% of the world population believed it, (which is too close to the percentage of Americans who are NRA members to be coincidence, and they're always right), so it must be true, but I just can't find enough info on it. Like what time its going to happen? This of course, is critical. See, I've got a bit of lamb in the fridge, cos its my favorite, and I'd been planning on having it as a last meal sort of thing, but I just noticed its about 2 days past its sell by date. I researched food poisoning, and figure I have about an 8-12 hour window from consumption to "evacuation", so the real question is when should I eat it? Tonight for dinner, and hope the world ends on the stroke of midnight before the evacuation, or have I got time to hold off until lunchtime tomorrow? I'd hate to leave it too late and miss my last meal, but on the other hand, it would be a real bummer to eat it too early and miss the end of the world because I spent my last few hours groaning in the bog or wandering round with everyone thinking I'd crapped my pants out of fear of the end....quite a conundrum...

I always subscribe to the theory, when in doubt punt.

Sandwiches for the lamb, just scoff them down as soon as it starts going pear-shaped.

Do you think I'll have time? I was kinda hoping it'd be quick, a bit like ripping off a bandaid. Plus I'm not really partial to cold lamb...it tends to give me indigestion...

Party at the pub. Maybe I'll wait to pay the tab, just in case.

If the "main event" has started, indigestion will be the least of your concerns!

I did say put down the sheep - perhaps that would have meant the end of the world for some of them

I don't think "down under time" counts - everyone knows that the universe runs on GMT!

How silly of me. Now, at some point in time on the 21st GMT, though, it will be the 22nd in New Zealand.
