(With apologies to ts eliot.)

I watched “Seven Signs of the Apocalypse” tonight on the History Channel. They are doing a whole week of end-of-the-world scenarios, and it promises to be rather entertaining. Tonight was their big Biblical prophecy bit, with their trademark leading-statement guests and misleading psuedo-science/research.

At least it didn’t turn into a “mankind is killing the world with global warming” evangelism piece until the last 30 minutes. That’s always the most entertaining. I mean, they spent 90 minutes telling us how unavoidable death by asteroid, gamma-ray death beam from space, supermassive earthquakes, virulent influenza, toxic algae, and ultraviolent shield volcano explosions were, and then at 10:30 they decided to try and scare us all by telling us how bad cars are.

At least they didn’t talk about ancient Egypt in this show. They usually have me rolling on the floor with how badly they get Egyptian history.

One thing I am fairly certain of concerning the End Times, though, is that it really doesn’t matter whether the end comes tomorrow or in another thousand years. The alien armada will most likely win.
