China reports that they have the six-horned Goat Of The Apocalypse… I’d say born but if it’s got horns it’s not a baby. Six horns! Okay, maybe five would have been better… five gets you a pentacle, especially good if it had a horn under its chin (inconvenient for it, though)… six is more like a Jewish Star of David goat, though it doesn’t seem to be wearing a yarmulke. So Goat Of The Apocalypse it is! Let’s name it “Asmodeus” and go visit it in Mongolia!

The two-headed cow of the apocalypse has apparently died, not taking the world with it.

Filed under “Signs of the Apocalypse”, India has a five-legged mutant cow. It took a while for me to spot the fifth leg. It’s not really where you’d normally expect a leg. Apparently the village where the cow is charges you for shaking its, um, leg.

It’s not often that I get to mention gadgets on the Apocalypse Blog, but if all goes well around this time next Friday I’ll have a Jesus Phone - I mean Apple iPhone - in my sweaty little hands. Who knows, maybe I’ll be able to blog from it, and will roam the world blogging about things apocalyptic.

Probably not so much (the roaming part, at least).

The apocalyptic element to the iPhone? It’s an article written by Josh Quittner wherein he waxes apocalytpic about the iPhone:

Red calves, beasts with many eyes, in general critters with too many whatsits or unusual coloring are often interpreted as signs of the apocalypse, whether due to prophecy or just because they give people the willies. If mutants really were signs of the apocalypse then the world would have ended during the first Lollapalooza festival… but we still carry on.

If the bombs fell today, would you be ready? Do you have clean water put aside? Supplies of dry food? Is your fallout shelter dug?

Lo, and the Lord said:
When is born the two-nosed calf
The forces of the adversary shall oversmell the earth and air.

Dark Horizons offers some corrections from Fox about recent reports on Ain’t It Cool News which I’ve ranted about (er, covered) recently.

The thing about the first Spiderman film was that Spiderman looked like Spiderman. More amazingly, he moved like Spiderman. He web-slinged (web-slung?). While it didn’t follow the original Spiderman stories to the letter, it captured the heart and soul of them and still kept an impressive number of details faithful.

The first X-Men film managed to largely do this as well… I didn’t think it was quite as successful, but at the time it felt like the most faithful comics adaptation I’d yet seen, especially considering how it had to deal with the excessively complicated long-term story of the X-Men. Plus, it managed to make fun of superhero suits.

Remember the recent post about So Much for the Killer Bees? Here’s a followup.

The problem seems to be worse than previously reported; beekeepers are reporting up to 70 percent losses in Texas and the east coast, and 30 to 60 percent losses on the west coast. The bees just fly off and never come home.
