God I can't wait for these morons to be proved wrong.

Or, failing that, for my miserable existence to come to a spectacular end.  Whichever.

It was said that one of these black holes could swallow the earth in four years time.

2008 + 4 = 2012

2012 = The end of the world.

It's all going according to plan, Jesus.

I thought you had some insight into these matters, Your Holiness.

Only when I'm in deep shamanic trance.  The last time I went in one of those you fucking monkeys started a religion around it.  You can, perhaps, understand why I'd be reluctant to attempt such again.

I thought you were the physical embodiment of empathy and altruism.

Oh, well. We're all going to Valhalla this time.

*sigh*  Well, I guess it serves me right for hanging out with those fucking salesmen.  They seemed so earnest!  They were taking notes on the things I was saying!  How the hell was I supposed to know?

I'm assuming the end of the world doesn't include Tiburon or Nob Hill?

How did this get a Hugo?  As sucky as it was, at least "Earth" was predictive.

I know it’s cliché on the internet, but for real, I spit macaroni and frozen veggies on my desk when I read that.  Don’t get me started on the Nobels.

If you want quality memorable Sci-Fi you can't go wrong with the this steaming pile of pages from one of the legends of the Golden Age of Sci-Fi:

It's the most readable thing he ever produced, anyway.

You can't really ask for a grander finale than being sucked into a black hole we created.

KABLOOM, got it?

Sorry, I want take the local cave as my stronghold. I'll invite the most callipygian of all my neighbors and feast like a king on butt steaks!

So long as I can celebrate my birthday on the 9th; the world can go to hell after that.
