#2I believe that would be 8:30AM CEST which is 11:30PM PST TONIGHT, or in just a few hours from now.

That's okay. I lol'd. I was going to say something like "Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light." - So I voted you up.

#7Dr. Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Dr. Peter Venkman: What?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Why?
Dr. Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.

Possibly, or it could be an attempt to soften the negative reaction one might have by viewing the following statements.
It's kind of like a disclaimer for stupidity.
