Japanese Cult Vows to Save a Seal and the World
New York Times / May 13 . . .roaming Japan in caravan formation late last month, the movements of the group [[Pana Wave cult]], which predicts that the world will come to an end on Thursday, with a reversal of the earth's magnetic poles and cataclysmic earthquakes...In most places where they have stopped, their unusual dress and behavior -- they do not believe in bathing, and reportedly eat only instant noodles -- has scared the wits out of the locals...
...Pana Wave has lightened its own story line dramatically, issuing statements saying that all hope is not yet lost for the earth, if only Tama-chan, a bearded seal... is "rescued."

Japanese police raid white-clad caravan cult
AP via NJ Online May 14, 12:31...The cult says it seeks refuge from deadly electromagnetic waves generated by power lines and controlled by "left-wing elements." Members believe white fabric helps neutralize the waves that are harming their leader's health. They also say the approach of a 10th planet will cause a global calamity within the next week or so.

The 12th Planet X (aka Planet Nibiru) is gonna hit the earth, of course. :roll:

Also the BBC says this evening that...

Members of the group are said to believe that the world will end sometime this month, because of a reversal of the magnetic poles.

I wonder what seals have to do with electro-dynamics.

Oh, wait. That's the wrong question:

I should say, I wonder what seals have to do with classical mechanics.

At any rate, it has been a real pleasure to be here and talk with you all. You've really filled my heart with blood - especially my new hero Rob Pongi -YEAAAAAH! I will miss you all after we are all dead (unless there is no afterlife, in which case, I won't do anything, let alone miss anything).

BTW, it's not me beaming those microwaves. It must be some other "left wing element." :rofl:

haven't picked up any Vogon constructor fleet messages on the sub-etha yet....I have my towel ready....and my Hitchhiker's Guide, just in case....

by **Big Booger** » Thu May 15, 2003 8:26 am

Well, I would like to say, that the world is gone.. I am the only living being let on the entire planet and I am posting this now.. it was a great life and a semi-great world. They were right, we were all wrong. We should have listened to pana wave...

If only we could have caught that damn seal..

Farewell to all.

Um well be careful with your timing dude - if their guru dies then they've vowed to kill all of humankind....

We call them "uni students", back home, and if you ignore them, they eventually go away.

However, just in case they're right, tonight I'm going the good beer in the fridge and leaving the crappy stuff for after the end of the world.

:alien:

By the way. Anyone looking for the BBC Radio Drama's of the Hitchhiker's Guide?

I downloaded it off the 'net this past week.

FUNN-E!!!

I can't believe I'm not dead. It looks like they were able to save the world.

The danger's not quite over yet. World events happen on American time. It's still the 15th there.

Oh yeah that's what you think eh.... Well let me tell you!! I'm released from the booby hatch and look what happens...

- End of World averted
- Dollar drops to 15 year low
- Mainichi Reporter escapes murder charge
- Tama chan's fishing hook disappears
- First total lunar eclipse of the millennium
- One full week without Marvin mentioning schoolgirls panties

Co-incidence? I DON'T THINK SOoooooo

by **DJEB** » Fri May 16, 2003 9:59 am

Steve,

Let me just say thanks for saving the world, making it possible to buy lots of $$, taking care of Tama chan and doing that whole lunar eclipse thing. :wink:

Anyway, now it's the "Men in white sheets" vs the Men in white coats...

Men in white sheets postpone end of the world to next Thursday
Daily Telegraph, 16/05/2003
... The cult has disturbed the country with its claims that the approach of a 10th planet would trigger the destruction of the earth on May 15. A spokesman now says the apocalypse has been postponed until next Thursday ... Japanese have been alarmed at Panawave literature that says Miss Chino [cult leader] is the only hope for the earth and that her death could trigger holy war. Miss Chino claims that she is terminally ill with cancer and will die within days. But in a television interview last week, she seemed healthy for a 69-year-old and local media note that she has been 'dying' for almost a decade.

Well it's funny you should mention that Taro my boy.

Just this morning Ian came over to the house and said 'Steve you're a real cult'

or at least it sounded like that.

by **GomiGirl** » Fri May 16, 2003 2:13 pm

Sounds like the pana wave have been eating too many 'shrooms in their instant ramen - or the MSG has sent them over the edge..

Although, it could make a good anime series - it has all the elements:

Interesting outfits
A cute hairy seal
An invisible planet from outer space
Biblical/Apocolyptic natural disasters
The Super Hero (Our own Steve Bildermann with his trusty sidekick Rob Pongi)
The earth is saved for all the good citizens and is safe for kids everywhere.

We just need a villan/nemisis... now who could that be? *snaps fingers* "I got it", GG squeals.. "Evil Pongi"

Let's happier ending:
Miss Chino runs off to Planet X with Evil Pongi to have a happy 3-way love affair with Alien Elvis while the kidnapped Tama-chan has Hello Kitty's love child!
