If the Mayans were so smart to calculate the end of the world, according to popular sources, howcome they missed their own extinction? Maybe they were just too busy doing the math for Armageddon? Or maybe they didn't have Bruce Willis and his oil rig wildcats to protect them the way the planet does in "Armegeddon?" Or maybe they were busy trying to learn, "OLA, SENOR?!!"Does anybody wish, like I do that JUST ONCE a reporter would not say, "Reporting LIVE from such and such a place" but would say, "Reporting DEAD?" I wonder if he/she would get canned for saying that? And would it be canned laughter?
If during the Cold War there was a Hotline to the Kremlin, during a hot war would it be called a Coldline? And if they held a really nasty conversation, would it be called a Cold Sore?
If you call Suicide Hotline and they hang up, could you say the "line's gone dead?!!"
With the current hubbub about incandescent vs. fluorescent lights, should we start hunting whales again and switch back to oil lamps? Or should some sci-fi guy figure out how old motor oil could be incorporated into indoor lighting?
Got bright ideas?
