On Whitechapel This Week: Brian Wood, Katie West
Whitechapel is, if you like, the "other half" of my general internet activity. It's a message board, and it lets me do certain things that I can't really do here. Like this.

One night a few years ago, Camping, a civil engineer by trade, crunched the numbers and was stunned at what he?d found: The world will end May 21, 2011. This is not the first time Camping has made a bold prediction about Judgment Day…"

"A poor family living in the Bronx decides to buy their cereal for 75% off (after it had been scanned, flagged, and sent for resale in a quarantine-only store during an outbreak of mutated H1N1 in NYC) because they can?t afford the now premium-priced, ?guaranteed H1N1 free? supply; so they sneak into a quarantine store, or perhaps buy it from illicit Q-market goods smugglers. To make matters worse, the incentive would be...
