I<\/span>\"\"<\/a> think we just survived the worst two weeks of May, ever: it had been raining for so long, that everybody and their cats were either longing for sun or snow. It’s bad when you get hit with a lot of snow, but rain? Come… on. It may then also not surprise you that the NOAA is suggesting that this year is going to be a busy hurricane season<\/a>:\n<\/p>\n

It said that three to six of the forecast hurricanes are expected to be major, meaning a minimum Category 3 hurricane with wind speeds of at least 178 kilometres an hour.\n<\/p>\n

The actual link to NOAA is right here<\/a>. Thanks to the CBC for providing actual external links in a side column.\n<\/p>\n

This Saturday (the 21st), it’s going to be Judgement Day. According to Family Radio, the Rapture will start at 6PM ET (NYT link<\/a>). I don’t know what to think of that. Actually, I know what to think of this: It’s amazing that it takes a lot more scientists to formulate a Theory (peer-reviewed at that) and it only takes one guy, Harold Camping, to accurately pinpoint the day and time of the apocalypse. Since nothing will happen, Saturday, I’m curious what the excuse will be. Tip: blame 64-bit computing.\n<\/p>\n

Last but not least, I found this on Metafilter (link<\/a>): “Arc of Life and Love”<\/a>, about love, life and cancer. The video is, well, heart-rendering. Keep your Kleenex handy.\n<\/p>\n
