I'm not seeing any volume control on the page, weird. To be clear, of course my macbook volume control works, but even with that set at the minimum, the radio volume is punishingly loud (to these ears at least)

You're right, there's a bit about (paraphrasing) the clocks stopping at 11.30, bright lights in the distance and several low concussions in the ground. Having said that, in the movie the protagonist awakes at night to an orange gl

Yeah, I can't dig up the source now, but I remember a super-volcano (probably Yellowstone) being widely accepted as the most likely source of the disaster.

We'll use Snakes to solve the Rat problem, then we'll send in Boars to take care of the Snake problem. Of course, we'll need Bears to deal with the Boars when they get out of control.

Ok, so it's all supply and demand right? And it's every man for himself, bootstraps and such. A dog-eat-dog world, if you will? Here's the deal: How about you and me go into a big pit, with knives. And if I win, I get all you
