    the nuclear winters we had as kids were much better, there was so much more fallout you could build falloutmen for three months of the year, then go and sit around a blazing city warming your hands and drinking cocoa.
    Kids nowadays, don't know they're born, do they?

    The up-coming Apocalyptic war with the Anti-Christ is clearly heralded by these events. The Rapture Index is up one point at 158, which is a bummer as I'd been shorting it.

    Apart from that, things should be pretty much ok.

    Oh and don't forget Global Warming.
