Doomsday Scenarios

I'm not sure what ours is at work, but a few days ago we almost reached it when our servers were down for almost four hours (at least), giving us two hours to do what we usually do in, say, five or so. We got the paper out - we actually had a closer call about four years ago, when a globe-crossing virus got into our system and crippled our old network.

It underscored two things: how reliant we are on computers these days, especially in our business, and that we really didn't know what would happen if we were unable to produce a paper. At least when I was working in Trenton we may have had the option of going down the street to the Times. I'm not even sure about this.

But this got me thinking...

The Democrats in 2008: Hillary winning the nomination. I think there are enough people who don't like her and won't vote for her that she's the most beatable Democrat out there.

The BCS: No undefeated teams. (I'm shocked this hasn't already happened, honestly.)

The Boston Celtics: Just happened.

New Jersey Is Burning

Apparently Maxim thinks it's 2004.

Granted, I'm sure we'd all be okay with it if it was...


Ah, memories.

*sigh*

(Also, how does only one Olsen twin make the list? What's going on up there?)
