If you had big plans this weekend, David Meade regrets to inform you that the world will be ending Saturday.
Meade, a Christian numerologist and self-described "researcher," says Sept. 23 is foretold in the Bible's Book of Revelation as the day a series of catastrophic events will begin, and as a result, "a major part of the world will not be the same," the Washington Post reports.
The Bible prophecies a woman "clothed with the sun" and a "crown of 12 stars" giving birth to a boy who will "rule all the nations" while she fights off a seven-headed dragon. The woman, Meade says, is the constellation Virgo, which on Saturday will be positioned under nine stars and three planets, per Popular Mechanics.
The baby boy will be the planet Jupiter, which will be moving out of Virgo on that night.
According to Meade, who says he studied astronomy at an unspecified university in Kentucky, the great change in our world will be the result of the arrival of Nibiru, a planet famous in conspiracy circles but which astronomers say doesn't exist.

Not in things that really matter, no.
Case at point, the religious sentiment revival pales in significance when compared with the fact a certain part of my body experiences only a minor revival when seeing some tits up.

At least you are smiling during adversity.

Adversity? What adversity? Without that thing I needed to take care of, I'm left with so much spare time in my hands (grin)
Ah, it's the religious sentiment revival you were talking about. Well, I see no reason to waste my time worrying about it, posting on S/N is evidently more profitable (double grin)
(and no, I'm not smiling. Just triple grinning - as you most probably know, cynics use to do that)
