More on the New Universe Project

It's taking more of my time than I thought it would. I decided it is going to exist side by side with the current Universe. I've got room, so I'm not worried about each one bumping into each other. SF fanbois, forget it, neither universe is going to be able to detect each other. It's part of the design. Like you.

The End Of The World Is Not Coming ... Soon

This must be a huge disappointment, especially to those people that opposed this. It's not in the cards people. You're more in danger of killing yourselves than destroying an entire planet or creating a black hole big enough to swallow a planet. In the days to come, it may in fact seem like the end of days. Things will get tough for your species, I mean, really tough, we're talking half the population turning to fertilizer. Earth will be just fine, it's a tough piece of rock, it's going to be around much longer than you will (don't worry too much, you are sure to last about 500,000 to one million years). In fact, it'll support all types of life after your species burns out. And you'll get by the upcoming disaster, as a species. Just do me a favor.
Remember.
Don't pray or curse me.
Invoke the Universe, okay?

The story of Sa'ul Part Three (Recovery)

(cont'd)
The Galilean henchmen quenched poor Sa'ul's thirst, dressed his wounds, fed him, constructed a canvas sling with a tent-like structure upon it to protect Sa'ul from the hot sun, then moved on to Damascus. They rebuffed inquiries from strangers along the way who was in the stretcher. They entered towns in the evening, stayed only at domiciles where the households asked no questions of them but supplied them with beds and provisions, and left before the dawn. Phillip The Hellene knew of a fellow Hellene in Damascus named Ananias who was purported to be schooled in the medical arts. Upon arrival at Damascus and at Ananias's domicile, Sa'ul rested and recuperated, and thought deeply but pragmatically of his adventures, travails and misfortunes. During his recuperation under Ananias's care, he had his Galileans bring any and all news of the followers of the new Jewish Messianic sect and discovered there were, lo, many,many such sects, each with their own story of a Messiah, some dating back more than a century. Sa'ul took to collecting, and writing down all these tales. In the weeks that followed, Sa'ul decided to embrace his former enemies, then take revenge, first you join them, then beat them at their own game.
