from the "this-end-up" dept.

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.

    From the perspective of a LWNJ, damned near everyone is a RWNJ.

    Well, yes, but how many unreconstructed Marxists have you ever run into? I've never met one. On the other hand, from the perspective of a sane, normal, decent person, pretty much everyone who thinks like you is a RWNJ.

    (Translation: "no u" doesn't work. Especially when it's a false equivalents. Step up your game, you pathetic whinging cuck.)

      Step up my game? Alright, you're getting boring, so I no longer want to adopt you. I'm going to let the grandkids keep their ugly four legged critters that they call "horses" in there instead.

        I said step up, not down. Maybe you're not cut out for this...

          Now you're sounding like my mother. She always expected me to "be nice to the kids who aren't so bright". I just didn't have time to hang with the little retards.

            That may be the single most revealing comment you've ever made about yourself :) Thanks for doing my work for me, Runaway. Now everyone can see you're the complete, self-centered asshole I've been ranting that you were for years.

        so I no longer want to adopt you.

        You know, Runaway, this does nothing to stop the rest of us from wanting to euthanize you. Just because you ought to know.

    From the perspective of a LWNJ,

    Alright, let me guess: "Longshoreman's Wharf in New Jersey"?

    "Leatherneck Wombat Niederschticker Jaeger"?

    "Long-time World Noodling Jock"?

    "Lone Wolf Rightwing Terrorist"? (yes, the letters don't match, but that's to throw of the FBI!)

    Or:
    "Lameass Wise-ass Never-went-to-college Jackass"?

    I like that last one best.

      You can't really be serious, but LWNJ is Left Wing Nut Job, and RWNJ is, naturally enough, Right Wing Nut Job. Of course, LWNJ is used very commonly. You're far more likely to hear "batfuck crazy".

        Oh, but an AC can always be serious. You, on the other hand, in your full-on right-wing nut-job Faux News Hillbilly of Ignorance mode, seriously, you cannot be serious? No one can be that stupid, right? Hello? Runaway? Can you hear reality? . . . . .. . . Blurp.
