If I couldn't find it on the DVD, I was going to travel 2,000 miles by bus to Matt Groening's underground vault and steal the original manuscript. If the vault turned out to be full of Simpsons stuff unrelated to Futurama, I was going to dedicate the remainder of my life to developing a practical form of time travel, in order to travel back in time to the year 1999, so I could record the episode on VHS and store the tape in a vault with instructions that it be posted to this exact thread, at this exact minute.

Fortunately, it was on IMDB, so I didn't have to do that stuff.

I don't know. You'd think the Great Disappointment would have ended the Millerite movement, but they went on to found the Seventh Day Adventists, who are still around today.

I'm sure you have a much clearer insight into the WBC than I, but if the history of religious fanaticism is any indication, it seems likely someone within the church will take over and come up with a rationalization as to why his death was actually prophesied and entirely necessary from the beginning. That's what always happens, whenever we catch up with a doomsday date... and we've been doing it for centuries, now. There's always a reason that it wasn't the real date, only the date of some spiritual event that has no physical manifestation.

That's a classic tactical blunder. According to Sun Tzu, one should never allow a kitchen appliance to choose the battlefield.

And what are the side-effects of death? Is it possible to live a normal life if you have long-term, chronic death?
