Why do we do that? Why is our first impulse, on having a horrible experience which we can spare those we care about from repeating, to insist on sharing that experience? It’s a mystery.
Anyway. This is horrible. Watch this.

tuibguy, O ye of little faith:
1. “Queen of the Rosary Academy” at 555 Albany Ave., North Amityville
(The horror!)
2. “Praying the Rosary: Worship Commission” at St. Thomas a’Becket Catholic Church: 555 S. Lilley Rd., Canton
… and if that doesn’t convince you, behold:
3. “Our Lady’s Rosary Makers” product code 555.

Just a guess, but I think 555 comes from the traditional 15 mysteries of the rosary (3 sets of 5).

Artor says
I’m not touching that. I learned my lesson with the “Smell this,” scenario. I went to visit my friend who is a top-notch chef, and he was cooking when I came in- the place smelled great. He said “Smell this,” and handed me the pot off his Quisinart. Thinking it was something yummy, I stuck my nose in & took a big whiff. It turned out to be fresh horseradish & vinegar, since he was cooking for Seder. I fell to the floor screaming, and it felt like I’d taken a baseball bat to the nose.
So when PZ hands me a video & says, “Watch this!” I hesitate. I already know about Tapley. Do Not Want!

Oops, this wasn’t from PZ. Hey Chris Clarke, do you think you can rickroll PZ & get him to watch this?

Dick the Damned says
You wanna know why he’s the Third Eagle of the Apocalypse, eh? Because Eagle is the third component of his meta-name. William Tapley (Eagle). Add the letters – that’s right = 18, which is 6 + 6 + 6, or 666. Therefore, he’s the Antichrist!
If he reads this, he just might self-destruct. Please, pretty please.

The first is the pseudonym of this “person” – Psy.. This is a reference both to demonic “Extra Sensory Perception or PSYchic powers and, phonetically, to the Greek letter Psi which is the trident of Pagan sea “god” and the Satanic fork used in H*ll
The second is Psy’s online avatar or image; a Merman coiled into the shape of a 6 which obviously implies the demonic Dagon (Joshua 19:27, Judges 16:23, Samuel 5:2-7, Chronicles 10:8-10

Nes says
Ragutis,
Oh, but that’s the fun part of numerology: you’re allowed to do anything you want to the numbers to
get them to say what you want them to sayreveal the truth! You just have to pick out the “prominent” numbers, of course. That’s why it’s okay to take the numbers from the edges of the license plate and ignore the ones in the middle, or equate 66 with 666!Also, does he really not realize that the shirt was spelling out “Bingo?” At least, that was my assumption, though I haven’t seen the video that he’s examining.
Hey, that would have got him another: add up the letters (value based on order in alphabet) to get 47. 4+7 = 11 (or take the 11 from the shirt). The numbers of letters in “bingo” is 5. 47+11+5=63, and we all know that that’s code for 3 6’s, or 666! I think that discovering this will promote me to the 8th Peacock of the Rapture and Co-Prophet of the Second Coming!

I think this is a good thing. People like Bishop Ussher have been doing this stuff for thousands of years, and by the time it filters down to the masses it’s just “It’s real complicated, but the numbers can’t be a coincidence!” Now with youtube you can follow the reasoning…and crack up laughing.
It is worth noting that Catholicism completely rejects the whole rapture/tribulation/apocalypse fantasy. The idea that Jesus will somehow use Mary’s rosary to defeat the antichrist is daft, even by the most liberal interpretation of the
hallucinationrevelation.pjabardo says
I was just thinking, 666 is everywhere:

Why doesn’t Satan just make a video entitled “Hey, everybody, the antichrist is here and he’s going to kick Jesus’s ass!”, if that’s the message he wants to get across? You’d think he’d know that as an advertiser, you have to make your message easy to grasp.

lorn says
Why do we pass the rotten milk to other? Simple, humans grow together by sharing experiences. And it is the intensity of the experience, rather to its positivity, that determines the degree to which the people bond.
Bikers have long known that if you get a young thing on your bike and take her for a wild ride the fear and and intensity will make her feel closer to you. It is a sure-fire panty-drop maneuver. A scary or tear-jerker movie works in a similar, if less effective, manner.

–
Maybe = Mabus? Why not Mayberry (symbolic of the Rep’s nostalgic America that never really was)? Or Maybelline (symbolic of Woman)? And any number with 3 5’s in it anywhere = 555? Nevermind the determination to see 666’s everywhere….and 66 ≠ 666; d00d fails at maths FOREVER.

Is he one of those sadly brainwashed types who becomes more firmly entrenched in ridiculous ideas whenever someone calls him out as a twit? The argument is something like “People are against me and say I am foolish to believe in God, therefore I must be right because Christ suffered”. Yeah, right.
Here in Australia we only get the media’s view of the USA, but if reports of the Evangelical movement are correct then America is in serious trouble. Basing any society on an the Bible is so dangerous. Europe tried that once. The resulting Crusades and the burning of witches and heretics were not proud moments in history.
Is there anyone left in the USA education system who doesn’t waste time every day reading the Bible? There is nothing positive to be gained in stories by ancient and hideously violent tribesmen.

This video has opened my eyes to the power of satan in our world. This numerology stuff is a powerful investigative tool. For example 6 plus 6 is 12, divided by the third 6 and you get 2. We see 2 around a lot.
Now let us see what else we can find. Six times six is 36 plus the third six is 42, which is the answer to life, the universe and everything. Shocking! Douglas Adams has been revealed. We can now look through his books for messages from the antichrist.

timgueguen says
I’m sorry, but you’re not the real Antichrist. The truth is he took off for Tau Ceti centuries ago after he actually sat down and read Revelation. He realised he had no chance of winning on Earth, so he decided to go find another planet to enslave. Unfortunately no one up in Heaven has bothered to tell the folks on Earth we no longer have to worry about the Second Coming and all that nonsense.

Somebody mentioned the use condoms – miss the rapture video. I watched it. Booooring.
But. Something a bit pathetic and sad. When it finished I looked at the other panels that came up, and there was another bloke. I thought he’d be an amusing acolyte, a fledgling eagle maybe, but he wasn’t.
He was serious, dead serious in fact, that our favourite comedian with all the inside gen on Denver Airport and the New World Order – is going to burn in hell. Because he follows the Anti-Christ. He’s Catholic.
It’d be almost bearable if it was in the old Paisley brimstone baritone, but it wasn’t.
