Re: Is everyone still there?
plenty of Kosher Christians on the planet... I never mix grape and grain. I regularly wail at the (hole in the) Wall and always treat saturday as a day of rest.

Re: Is everyone still there?
We're going to see those in maths problems books now aren't we?
"Little Harry said the world would end on date x, while his friend Maya said it would end on date y. Harry also claimed x was a variable, while Maya's y is a constant. Tell us in your own words how many natural laws of sanity Harry and Maya broke [worth 5 points, show your working]."

Re: Is everyone still there?
I haven't been 'there' for a long time now....
But I am still 'here'!
My current version of reality is telling me the temperature is rising inexorably... not the precursor to the world blowing up just yet - simply evidence that Arizona, where I live, is still 'here'.
Can't speak for the rest of the world...
... and pretty sure I saw Doctor Who around these parts recently... so anything could have happened, and probably did!
Cheers

workings.... Harry's variable is determined by the number of gullible contributors. Maya's constant is determined by the amount of stone in the quarry.
1) Harry forgot to take the oil companies 'need for greed' into his financial calculations and apparently was using a pre y2k computer.Oil companies could not let it happen before the end of the 2nd quarter!!
2) Maya's stone quarry ran out of stone and because they could not see the Nasca lines they had to quit.
3) Both apparently purchased event disruption insurance from AIG with the Greek Govt as guarantor.
