"A time, times, and half a time."

(For those of you not up on your bible, that's the repeated refrain in John's Apocalypse for how long bad end times things persist.  Three and a half years.)

At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

Whoever wins the history books of the future will look like tele-novelas or, who knows, those Japanese S&M comic books.
