Last night, I watched a program on the National Geographic Channel about the book of Revelation in the Bible. Now, I am a graduate of a theological seminary (but my degree is in Church Music). I never realized how much of the book was written in numerical code. Or that the term "rapture" was never used until a schoolgirl in England went public with a dream she had many, many years ago.

Sorry. The only things I see on that end of the scale are platinum and a White dwarf star. Don't remember any dwarf named "Chucky"


Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
