Rapture/End Times blog entries are like Lay’s Potato Chips…you can’t eat just one! I promise, this is the last one of the day.

Back in high school, after reading Space-Time and Beyond for the umpteenth time and drinking one too many zombies with my friend Henry, we came up with a theory:
In the infinite set of universes, there had to exist a particular universe in which the events in our lives were being watched as a TV show.
We then made a solemn vow to live the kind of life that got high ratings.
This is the continuation of that story.

It took a full day but then BAM! I got it! And now I am limp with laughter. Where, oh where did you find this picture?!
Hey, Gideon!
I’ve had this one in my (increasingly large) collection of interesting photos I find on the ‘net for a while now. I’m not suire of the source — I belong to a couple of file-sharing clubs, regularly visit sites like b3ta.com and people often email me funny graphics like this, asking me to post them on the blog.
I scaled it down slightly to fit the page; I can send you the full-size one, in which you can read the text of the warning at the upper right-hand corner of the Eschatron 9000′s control panel.
Mmm – “full size”! I’ve got at least two New Testament prof-friends who could dig it. Send forwarding info, please!
Yes, please.
I’d totally love the big version of this image.
Hi Joe,
This is absolutely fabulous!
I wonder if i am permitted to use the picture as an illustration of the popularity of Voegelin’s slogan? Needless to say it is strictly for non-commercial use, i just need a tasty cover for my dry and abstract academic work….
Best regards, Daan.
Please send a link to or a copy of the full scale one where you can read the warning. A college religious studies prof i had once told us he was at a large meeting and saw William F. Buckley sporting a button saying “Don’t Imminetize the Eschaton” and ever since I have considered it to be the ultimate “inside” joke to the non-cognoscenti.
thanks.
