<Mostly Harmless>

As some are aware, there are some "conspirancy" theories floating around regarding December, 21st 2012 - the end of the so called mayan calendar where many associate this particular date with doomsday, the comming of the end of the world.

I used a very scientific method to disproof this assumption - I simply checked if December, 21st, 22nd or 23rd 2012 are Thursdays - they are not. If one of these dates would have been a Thursday, we would be fu*$ed - but since they are not, we're fine ;-)

What has this to do with Thursdays you might ask? This is simply due to the fact, that the earth will come to an end on a Thursday - this is a widely known and accepted fact of life ;-)

If you don't get it, I would recommend reading the hilarious trilogy "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams.

When driving out of town, I was stopped by a friendly police officer standing at the end of the town. I stopped the car, lowered the window, and asked the officer what happened.

He told me that he "lasered" me (German: "gelasert") - I said "pardon me, you did what?", he said it again "I lasered you" and I said "I just wanted to make sure that I didn't misunderstood you the first time..." - which actually seemed like a stupid thing to say the very moment these words came out of my mouth, but as one mind bigger than mine already said, one always finds keener replies the next day - I could have said for example "you might have lasered me, but my pocket black hole ripped your laser in pieces", or "your laser has been bent by my massive time pressure, so the reading is inaccurate", or maybe even the cocky "you don't even know what laser means!".

So, this officer was using light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation to measure my speed. I guess Maiman would have been proud to see his invention being put to such a noble use... Damn, Maiman, your invention cost me 30€, frak!
