World will end on 9-12-2006
No, this isn't the new host of Rocketboom, even though the set looks similar. This is Overseer Yisrayl Hawkins coming to you from the house of Yaweh in Abilene, Texas. According to Mr. Hawkins and his interpretation of Biblical prophesy, nuclear war will erupt on September 12, 2006, and one third of the humans on the planet will perish.
What do you think Mr. Hawkin's excuse will be in the event that nuclear war does not break out on September 12? Please email your suggestions and I will post the best ones here on Boing Boing. Link
