    I don't wish to brag, but I've survived the end of the world at least three times already.

    Three? That's only the recent ones. Doesn't that happen more or less every year?

      I saw much posts here in the Lounge about the end of the world. So, I ask this question: "Do you believe in the end of the world tomorrow?"

      FYI, the Maya Calender doesn't end tomorrow, it just moves to the next B'ak'tun. Nothing to see, nothing to worry about.

                No. Well, I mean it might (true on any given day the Earth exists), but it is less likely than me getting into a three way with Selma Hayek & Natalie Portman for example, which is pretty remote, sadly. [Edit] This might be misconstrued that I'd prefer a three-way with Natalie Portman and Selma Hayek than for the world to continue. It's a close run thing, but on the whole I'd have to opt for the world not ending, though I'd prefer the win-win situation of the former happening and the latter not, in case you are in a position to arrange it.

                Be glad you don't have my luck. The door would ring. They would be there together. I'd let them in, and we'd go up to the bedroom... ...and the world ends when I reach for my belt buckle.

                  Seems CP is wayyyy ahead of you there. Its just us that really know the truth have not been telling others that we can still vote ;)

                  Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

                          No, but the end of the world is a popular topic in the Lounge the last time, that's why I asked my question.

                            Yesterday I was writing a cheque for some one and I was dating it for today since they won't be able to cash it due to the world ending. Imagine my surprise when I realized that the date format on my cheque was DD MM YYYY. I wrote out the first four characters and then slapped my head thinking I'd mistakenly wrote out the year. :cool:

                              Just try to think of something good and harmless, so that it can't possibly destroy us. Then everything will be ok. :)

                                      That of course is a non-sensical statement. Just because one is a programmer it doesn't mean they are a Vulcan. Matter of fact I have never met a programmer that was a Vulcan. So at least anecdotal evidence would suggest that they all remain human.

                                          That of course is a non-sensical statement. Just because one is a programmer it doesn't mean they are a Vulcan. Matter of fact I have never met a programmer that was a Vulcan. So at least anecdotal evidence would suggest that they all remain human.

                                          ..I wasn't referring to Vulcans. I'm just expecting "a bit of reasonable argumentation", given the fact that the job-description includes mainly "logic". Unless you'd like to argue that hope and prayer are a valid software-development method?
