I’m feeling distinctly undoomy, and having failed to notice anything that resembles the impending end of life, civilization and the world as we know it (the LCW quotient) I think it is time I reset the Impending Doom meter to the standard  background level of 1.2D partly to provoke something into happening.

I’m purposely disregarding today’s mobile phones give you cancer report in the Daily Telegraph as i’m thinking its part of the natural background of scare stories that re-surfaces every few years. However, I am slightly taken with this other Telegraph article that says in order to save the environment you should eat your pet dog as it has the same carbon footprint as a Toyota Landcruiser. The article in the paper suggests that children will understand why it is neccessary to eat Spot after a few years and learn that it keeps the universe in balence while they eat their Lassieburgers. The same goes for pet cats and hamsters. mmm, hamster kebabs.

However, as the Impending Doom Meter only records the impending doom of the human species poor Spot is going to have to carry on oblivious to it all.

Sorry Spot.
