Re: [tips] Will There Be a Rome (Italy) on May 12?
So far Rome has not been destroyed. In other news, I did a Google search on news.google.com and found a number of news stories about the impending destruction of the world that is supposed to start on May 21 and end Oct 21. Here is one such story from the Florida newspaper Orlando-Sentinel: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/fl-end-time-may-21-20110510,0,6824788.story There even a countdown clock that appears on the page after a while.

RE: [tips] Will There Be a Rome (Italy) on May 12?
APS has had its usual sense of humor about it. The convention starts shortly after the 21st and they sent out a funny email from Alan Kraut, which I have reproduced here: Attend the LAST EVER APS Convention, on Us Have you seen your spam lately? The end of the world (EOW) is coming - sometime between May 21 and October 21. (Rounding error?) Butwhat if it's not just spam I hesitate to write this as the executive director of a scientific association and I hope you'll think no less of me (watch it...), but I personally have seen the signs, so it must be true. Really - signs, literally, as in on billboards and the sides of busses. Right next to Got Milk?: End of the World coming May 21 through October 21. (And I don't think they mean as in coming to a theater near you.) We at APS Headquarters are horrified. Why? The 2011 APS Convention begins May 26. What if this is our last one? Worse yet - what if it's interrupted? What if it never starts? After we calmed down, we thought about how to make the EOW work for every APS Member coming to the Convention, even for those who have not yet decided. So ... here's our money-back APS Convention Guarantee: Come to the 23rd Annual APS Convention May 26-29, in Washington DC.
