Boys Book of Armageddon is selling well. Time to get yours. The Kindle edition is free for those of you that own a Kindle and that have an Amazon Prime account. For the rest of you,. I've reduced the cost of the Kindle edition. The print edition is a little expensive, but you have to pay when you want something that can save you from a demon.
In terms of end of the world news. Time to catch up.
Republicans still think Obama is ending the world. This is odd because that's what they want, right? Gingrich even has an armageddon strategy. Most certainly he is running for president solely to cause Obama to be elected for a second term.
Mayans are still newsworthy with recent articles. This one claims that we are doing it ourselves.
Finally, the anti-doomsayers are out in force. The doom to anti-doom ratio is still five to one, but expect the anti-doom to be more popular as scientists see an opportunity for more grant money.
Beat the rush and buy the eBook version of Boys Book of Armageddon before we run out of bits and bytes. And please, write a five star review. We can't buy our dog that missile silo in Nebraska without your help!

Siri, the iPhone Doomsayer
Siri is a great little application. Siri can find you the closest military surplus or book an appointment with your psychologist. Why not doomsaying?
"When is Armageddon?"
Siri: I'm not aware of any meetings about Armageddon.
Damn!

Sleepy Village of the Mayan Apocalypse
There is a way to survive the Mayan gods, vengful aliens, and/or Mayan prodictions of Earth's conjuction with the center of the universe: relocate your family to Bugarach, France. Yep, that's the story!
Why would anyone think that surviving the Mayan apocalypse is best done in France? We think its baguettes. Baguettes are those long bread things that France is famous for. If you have ever had a baguette, you know that those things are wonderful fresh out of the oven, but an hour later they can be used as a replacement for diamond. They are your best defense against asteroids, demons and Mayan gods.

Apocalyptic Waffles
Ah waffles. The great thing about waffles are the little holes that hold the syrup and other goodness. Without those wonderful holes, waffles would just be square pancakes.
Waffles are also great because of the term: waffling. Wikipedia says that waffling was originally "defined as language without meaning; blathering, babbling, droning." You know it as nonsense. Also according to Wikipedia, the term waffling comes from originally from: "waff[1], a 17th-century onomatopoeia for the sound a barking dog makes, similar to the modern woof. Although the relationship between a dog's bark and indecisiveness is unclear, the inference is that waffle words have about as much meaning as the noise made by a dog barking."
Yes, waffling means 'barking nonsense'.
Waffling also means changing your mind to curry favor. Politicians waffle as often as the public opinion poles change. Waffling is about popularity. The best way to win an election is to appear to have the same opinion as a majority of your constituents. But that's a subject to cover in The Boys Book of Politics, commming soon. We want to use waffling today to talk about Cognitive dissonance.
Cognitive dissonance, is when the brain figures out it is an idiot and takes action. There are only two types of action, either you accept you are an idiot or you come up with some reason to defend remaining an idiot. No matter how much evidence is against your world view, you come up with some rationalization that lets you feel ok with being an idiot and having the same beliefs.
You might wonder why someone would rationalize their continuing to be an idiot. The answer is simple: We don't want to look like idiots. Soft of like eating waffles when you are type II diabetic. Waffles are bad for you, but that's ok because they taste so good!
In other, and totally unrelated to waffle news, Harold Camping says the Apocalypse he predicted with much hand waving was invisible. Sort of like the Grand Convergence of the planets and other predicted ends of the world, it isn't about what happens, rather how you feel when the world doesn't actually end. Harold calls it a "spiritual' apocalypse.
If May 21st 2011 isn't an apocalypse you can touch, when do we get the real 3D experience of the end of the world? According to Harold, October 21, 2011. Four months from now, we can all skip paying the utility bills, not show up to work, or leave the toilet seat up. nobody will care because nobody will be on Earth.
Here at Boys Books, we think the world ending in October, instead of May, is a good thing. We now have four months to eat those delectable waffles.
