Finish the Game

There’s quite a bit of chuckling going on in the blogosphere about a prediction that the world will end at 6:00pm on May 21. I’m reminded of a story told about Ignatius Loyola (founder of the Jesuits) which I may have told here before.

A novice, shocked to see the great soldier-priest playing billiards, asked him what he would do if he learned that the world would end in an hour. Loyola replied “I’d finish the game.”. Now there’s a saint.

    That’s a radio show out there. I was listening to public radio as they talked about it, they named the station (1280AM?) and I flipped over. At first I thought they were just playing music to avoid it all, but no, in the break they said it was for reals.

    They said you could call or write for your armageddon bumper sticker. No lie.

    Limited time offer, lol.
