I'm kind of iffy about this. Sounds a little like we're taking the mickey (as the whole internet is). But I'll leave it to Jeff's call.

Hey everyone,

Congrats!

It is October 7th, which means today is the Apocalypse... according to the eBible Fellowship. Did you know that so far in the last five years, we have survived 11 doomsdays? 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events

It is currently a trending item on both Fb and Twitter. Jeff, how do you feel about this? 

I love this last sentence from the article: 

"No predicted apocalyptic events have occurred so far."

"Throughout history, many have attempted to predict the end of the world, including today. And Wikipedia has documented them all." 

"Did you know that  Grigori Rasputin prophesied a storm where fire would destroy most life on land and Jesus Christ would come back to Earth to comfort those in distress for the date August 23, 2013?"
