What were you all doing when the end of the world was nigh? I was listening to my NOS1 after all what human experience could be better at the end of the world?

But I do wonder why people were looking up at the sky and taking photographs. Why would they take photographs?

Merry Christmas to all you music lovers.

Christmas Cheers

Season's greetings to you as well.   yes

Why take photos?  You mean there are no pictures in Hell?

One of my favorite cartoonists, now sadly retired, was Gary Larson, whose strip was called The Far Side.  In one of his cartoons, Satan's mother runs around Hell taking milk and cookies to the damned, to Satan's horror and exasperation.

Larson was an equal opportunity cartoonist regarding deities.  He also had several about God.  One of my favorites has a nerdy-looking chubby kid with smoke-blackened face standing behind a rack of shattered test tubes, with a whole bunch of feathers raining down from above.  The caption is "God as a kid tries to make a chicken in his room."
