Don’t they know, it’s the end of the world?
Hey, this is great! The world is ending in six months, so I can do whatever I want without worrying about the consequences!
Ominous reports are leaking past the BP Gulf salvage operation news blackout that the disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico may be about to reach biblical [sic] proportions.
But there are, of course, naysayers, who deny the possibility of a Methane Doomsday in 2010.

Didn’t the Mayans say we’re OK until 2012? Darn. ‘Guess that means we’re stuck carrying on with business as usual for a while longer.

The Black Widow?
My lack of worldliness and poor political acumen are leaving me perplexed. Why would the Russians consider this woman to be a good candidate for training as an alleged spy? What made them think she could possibly be able to gain access to the private quarters of influential men? Here’s another picture of her I found, training in Russia.
Special guest post — Taking leave of my Census
Historian and genealogist Denro sets us straight on the United State Census:
The countdown to the release of the 1940 Census on April 2, 2012 has begun! Genealogists are salivating already! You posted some concerns about the 2010 Census. There’s nothing new under the sun — detailed questions have always been asked, especially in the 20th Century. The Census is the Genealogist’s friend!
Just watch these films. They are actually on the Archives.gov site, but they have also been posted to YouTube. The 1st is a Patriotic Infomercial, 1940s style – “Cooperate” with a Census-taking Uncle Sam! “Census of Housing” is hilariously bad on the acting front — and filled with detail upon hilarious detail. I believe that David Lynch watched this one continually for 24 hrs. straight, and then made “Eraserhead.”
Thanks, Denro! The Census of Population and Agriculture films likewise have some deliciously stilted acting.
