This is the new Almanac!" 7) Convinced followers it was all 'a computer hoax that he innocently fell for; after all it said it was sent by Bill Gates, the FBI and all of AOL's Directors.' 6) Claim God had a last minute change of heart. 5) Claim they were all magically transported back in time. They have to stay hidden to avoid letting the natives get ahold of their advanced 1999 Dodge technology. 4) Say one year is just not enough to "party like it's 1999" 3) Ooops, wrong calendar! 2) Unfortunately God subcontracted the Apocalypse programming out to Elbonia.
