A truly catastrophic turn of events has led this blog to a demise that, while not unexpected, was nonetheless notable for circumstances that were both shocking in emphasis and horrifying in brutality.
Allow me to explain. Raptor, in all his hubris, got in yet another argument with me, this time over whether or not it was okay to divide by zero. After warning him numerous times not to attempt such a dangerous task, he tried to hammer out a computer program for it on his PC as I went to the corner store for a slurpee.
As you can see, he did make the attempt, and the viciously abrupt riptide in reality sucked me off my feet and toward the back of the store toward Raptor's house (though I have to say...I kind of expected it might be coming).

If you were within a 30 mile radius, you probably expected something similar. The effects did not stop there, unfortunately; they resonated deep all the way through the dark and unholy bowels of the Earth into the south Indian Ocean. My proof? On the opposite side of the globe from Raptor’s house, Heard Island reported a strange, isolated blast of seismic activity and a sudden, terrifying tidal shift in one of their inland lakes.

Luckily, Raptor’s computer melted down before any real significant damage could do a full spinebreaker on our collective sanity.

(The insignificant damage, incidentially, including Raptor’s life, that of his roommates, and his house, as seen below; I of course made a t-shirt out of it, and I feel compelled to note that you can go through our online store for a $15.99 one-size-fits-all machine-washable garment.)

So let me end with a final warning to all of you: dividing by zero is bad news. This is what happens when your brain divides by zero...

...and God only knows how dangerous it can get if you allow a powerful computer to do it.
Worst of all, gentle reader, is that it can destroy a blog that was 50% awesome 100% of the time. (The 50% I did, of course.)
The humanity...
