Weekend remainders - the apocalypse edition

Cows jumping six feet, a prominent economist calls for a trade war, tomato plants eating insects... They're all signs of the apocalypse. Fortunately, we now know it will all come down in 503 days.

A good sign of the end of the world? When you see a cow on a roof.

Weight loss surgery, it's not just for the obese anymore.

It may not be Armageddon but here's some depressing economic stats:
Here's food stamp usage by county across the US.
Here's a look a county by county look at unemployment for the past five years.

There are tomato plants that can eat insects!

Economists Paul Krugman falls just short of calling for a trade war with China. (For non-econ geeks this is very rare.)

Don't panic, but the real date of the apocalypse has been determined: May 21, 2011.

Those "The world will end in 2012" suckers won't know what hit them.
