I think there are better odds for humanity blowing themselves/ourselves up in a giant nuclear war than some kind of cataclysmic apocalypse routine. I feel that something is a bit different about the energies around me, but that could have everything to do with me and nothing to do with the earth, universe, etc. As Chai said, any being who visits to bring tidings of The End is functioning on a very different time scale...like geologic time vs. human time...on the geologic time scale, humanity is a blip that appeared about 20 seconds ago. If there will be a big bad apocalypse complete with antichrist, chattering satanic nuns, a modern demon, and an angel who didn't so much fall as saunter vaguely downwards, it won't be anytime remotely soon...if ever.
Side note: I too adore the Zombie Survival Guide and am totally ready if the dead rise, by the way. I've also seen plenty of horror movies, so stick with me, stay away from windows and mirrors (those always end badly) and we'll be just fine <!-- s
