Repent!

Anyone else read the lead op-ed in today's NY Times? It might be the most uselessly fascinating article ever written on the topic of the inevitable apocalypse. I think the author's name is Something Little. Chicken. That's it. Chicken Little.

Some stuff about a 20-by-60-mile caldera that blew 71,000 years ago in the single worst explosion in our known geologic history, the worst earthquake in the continental United States in the Mississippi Valley in 1811, a 1,720-foot high tsunami off the coast of Alaska, and a major fault running across 125th Street in Manhattan.

We're all gonna die, basically. And his practical suggestions include an early warning system and decreasing the size of an African mountain. Enjoy!
